Our first day

We arrived in China at about 9:30 PM on Friday, just over 24 hours after leaving home. After a very short night of sleep we have had a busy first day in Beijing. We started by visiting a jade store, then we went to the Great Wall of China, next a large market with many kinds of Chinese crafts and ate lunch in a restaurant there; next was the Summer Palace, and finally a Chinese McDonald's and a trip back to the hotel. Tomorrow we will visit the Forbidden City, attend the international church, and then we head to Chongquing province. It has been a busy time with lots of memories already made and many more to come. Adoption time is about 36 hours away.
