Ni hao from Beijing! We made it to Beijing on
Friday with no problems. We were able to get a fairly decent night's
sleep and filled up on a good breakfast before hitting the traffic and sights
of Beijing. Last time we did not have a chance to see the Forbidden City
so we were thankful to have the opportunity to visit it today with a few
thousand of our closest friends. Our guide, Sue, took more pictures of us
together than we have had in 19 years. The area was much larger than
we had imagined! After that, we saw a Cloisonne factory, had lunch, and
then went to the Great Wall--which we didn't know was on the itinerary again.
We worked off our big breakfast and lived to tell about it. For some
reason there is always a 90 year old woman climbing that gives that extra dose
of inspiration or guilt. Today there were old women AND a man with one
leg climbing. Like most places of interest and history there was some
vandalism on the wall. However, one of my favorite pictures of the
day--although vandalism--pretty much sums how we feel.
Don is super happy because the hotel has ESPN and
we were able to watch some baseball and hear which team the Rangers
will be playing.
Tomorrow we depart Beijing and travel to the
city of Urumqi which is where Millie is. We are getting closer to our
girl.
We miss home but feel your prayers.
We will post again when we have the chance!!!
Love~
Don & Lisa

So happy you arrived safe and sound. Can't wait for Gotcha Day! Enjoy your time in China.
I absolutely love the prayer list day by day. I might have cried a bit at one of the days' request. You should be sleeping now. I will be praying throughout my day here for your travels later on in your Sunday. I feel so blessed to be able to be on this journey even in a tiny way with you!

So happy to have the update! You look great, btw, which should not be allowed after that long of a flight.
It's 6:15 Sunday morning in Beijing so I'm praying that you had another great night's sleep, for an uneventful trip to Urumqi and for a great last day without Millie! (I can't believe I just typed that!!!)
Love you,
