We boarded our plane that would take us from Atlanta to Chicago and then over the North Pole to Beijing. We were met in Beijing by a GWCA guide and headed to our hotel on the outskirts of Beijing.

No, I did not skip a day, we just lost a day flying to China. Today we went on a tour arranged for us by Delight Travel. We toured the Summer Palace, the Beijing Zoo (to see the Pandas, of course), and the Temple of Heaven. We got some time to buy pearls and I bought a couple of bracelets for my mom and aunt and some things for Ella. The final thing that we did today was have tea at the Imperial Tea House. We went back to our hotel and met our GWCA guides for the first time. We have been assigned to Jeanne and David. Tomorrow we will tour Beijing with them.

Today we toured the Great Wall, Tianamen Square, and the Imperial City. Wow, what a beatiful city Beijing is! We are exhausted. Tomorrow we fly to Chongqing and get our babies even before we check into the hotel! Yippee!
