China!!!



We are here!!! We arrived in Beijing last night at 9:00pm after a long day of flying. The flights went well and they fed us a lot of good food, which we weren't expecting. We actually didn't arrive at our hotel until almost 11pm though.

We are a day and thousands of miles closer to our daughter!!! Today will be her last day of school here. What is she feeling? Oh, I so hope it is not total fear!

Today we will be going to Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and a Hutong Tour (whatever that is!!!). Then this evening we will see an acrobatics show. I will take lots of pictures and load them (actually, Megan will have to do this!) so that you can get an idea of what it is like here. We are getting ready to go down to an "American breakfast" in the hotel. We will stuff ourselves just in case we aren't able to eat much at lunch.

The above picture was actually taken in the Tokyo Airport. We were in Japan!!! We actually got to view our first squatty potty!!! I have to tell you that that was really exciting for us as we gathered in the public bathroom to look at it. I really wanted to ask someone how you would use it but thought better of that!!! I hope to find out and let you know.

More later!! ;)
