Saturday, 7/19/08 at 9:20 pm, Beijing. - We had another great day of touring the area. Beautiful day with lots of sun. We have done the two day whirl wind tour and have seen alot! Went to the Great Wall today... some in our family climbed farther than others... there seemed to be direct correlation to age. Today we had people from the US, Japan, and Israel in our group. It has been fun to meet and connect with people from such diverse places. We even ran into the family we met last night at dinner at a tour stop today by the Great Wall. It has been really fun to meet others on their adoption journey here. We all hope to meet up again in Guangzhou in a week.
The people of China are absolutely incredible and very nice! A bit crazy when it comes to driving but it seems to work for them and surprisingly you see very few accidents. The whole experience so far is very different than what we expected (in a good way), and we love the people and have felt that Beijing is one of the safer cities we have ever been in. I think we all agreed that it is a place we would come back too!
Tomorrow morning we head to Zhengzhou! We can hardly wait to get Joy!!! We are counting down the hours. We know Zhengzhou will be a very different than Beijing but we are looking forward to it! Maybe next time we post we will have Joy with us.
Thanks for your prayers!
