Beijing

We have been gone from the hotel the last two days from 8:00AM-8:30 PM the last two nights.   We have done so much that it almost seems like we have been in Beijing much longer.

Saturday we visited  Tiannamen Square, The Forbidden City, and The Summer Palace.  The weather was cold!!!  We wore lots of layers and, with our thin "Texas blood" we still froze!

So we dressed warmer for today for the Great Wall.  I never knew how steep the wall was!!!  What a workout!! We started shedding our layers half way up.    Chris and I made it to the fifth tower. Tori got to the sixth one,  and Turner went all the way to about the eighth or ninth tower.  He hiked higher than anyone in our group. 

It is now 12:00MN.  We need to take the bus tomorrow at 5:30am to Guangzhou.  We should meet Grace around 3:00PM!!!  (That will be 1:00AM Texas time)  We can't wait!

I hope everything is coming up onto the blogsite OK.  I'm having to email the blogs...and I can't check them.
