Beijing Day

Ni hao! I made it to China! My guide, Cindy, has been taking excellent care of me! Beijing is a ginormous city, so yesterday afternoon after Cindy dropped me off at the hotel, and after traveling for 27 hours, what would a normal person decide to do? Take a nap? Rest? I decided to go for a walk. Around Beijing. By myself.

I totally blend in here.

I walked for about an hour and a half. I think I went pretty far, but I have no idea where I was! I only got a little lost (I knew the general direction of the hotel kind of) and I did find my way back by myself. It was an adventure!

Chris on the Great Wall of China

I slept great last night and think I adjusted to this time zone right away. Cindy took me to the Great Wall today. She wimped out and only walked partway up, so I kept going. I wish that someday I could hike a long ways on it. It is so huge and so beautiful and so old.

T minus 3 for the hubby.

Our first Gotcha Day is tomorrow... stay tuned...

(((hugs))) from China,
chris
