Ni Hao!!!! I have been trying to blog for a long time but haven't been able to because in China they are restrictive about some websites like blogging and facebook but thanks to some friends who showed us how to get around it we are now up and running!!! Praise the Lord!! Okay so we flew out on Thursday morning and we got to Beijing on Friday afternoon our plane ride was delayed so we waited what seemed forever in the Chicago airport...and it was a VERY long plane ride but there was fun stuff to do on the plane like watch movies..and it was interesting to see where we were at on the route map. Out our window we could see the Siberian mountains and it was very cool! On Friday we arrived to Beijing and we were so tired that we just skipped dinner and went straight to bed! The next morning we got up and had a nice breakfast and then it was off to the great wall of China! Climbing the great wall was quite a challange...but very awesome!! We were slow going up because of all the people and everyone wanted to take a picture with me! I felt pretty special!! After climbing the great wall it was off to lunch and then Hutang Lane which is a really cool older neighborhood in Beijing where several families around 7 live in the same area sharing a courtyard. We got to visit a family and talk with them. On Sunday we flew to Guangzhou and settled into the China Hotel which is amazing and huge! Holt knows how to take care of you! Holt has been amazing!!! They take of everything they even took us grocery shopping...Here are some pictures from the first few days...
Or maybe not...still having difficulty with uploading pictures...I will work more on it tomorrow...s
so glad you were able to update! can't wait to hear more...and then the full story once you get back home!
