We are here....

Sorry I haven't updated!! I have been posting a little on Facebook though. It took me 2 days to get over the jetlag and adjust to the time difference but I think I am finally starting to feel myself again. The plane right was VERY long but uneventful! We have been busy seeing the sights in Beijing.

The first day our guide took us to the grocery store. That was an experience!!! There were lots of animals with heads and bugs......we didn't get any of those. They have many original flavors for their chips...there was steak flavor, shrimp flavor, there were even chips that had dipping sauce (ketchup?). Later that night we went to see an acrobatic show. Wow, those people can bend their bodies into positions that you wouldn't think someone should be able to. We had a great time. We got back to the hotel around 7pm, fell asleep and didn't wake up until the next morning, I think we were a little tired.

Yesterday we went to the Great Wall. It was quite a "hike" up the wall, my legs are feeling it today. We had a great time and took a lot of great pictures. There were SO many people there, you almost couldn't walk because of the crowd. We got back to the hotel around 7 and again we fell asleep until this morning. So that was 2 nights in a row with no dinner. This is one way to lose weight, LOL.

Today we went to Tienenman Square, The Forebidden City and then for a rickshaw (?) ride through the city. It was cold and rainy today but we did see some amazing sights. We had a great day but we can't stop thinking about meeting Matthew tomorrow. Our plane leaves at 9:40am and we should be with him around noon!!!
