We made it!

After 28 hours of traveling, we finally arrived at our hotel in Beijing. We arrived at midnight on Thursday, just in time to go to bed and catch a few hours of sleep. Today we were able to spend the day touring Beijing. We went to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. We also went to a silk factory and on a rickshaw ride. I am glad we have a few days to adjust to being in China before we get Hope. We are jetlagged and my stomach doesn't feel quite right. I'm sure we'll feel great in a few days. We are with about 12 other families from our adoption agency. We will separate from them on Sunday when we fly to Wuhan to get Hope. We will meet back up with these families when we go to Guangzhou. Tomorrow we will see the Great Wall.
