We have been have a great time here in China. We are really enjoying being able to get to know all the other families in our group. Touring Beijing the past few days, been long days so not much resting up but very educational and fun. We went to the Acrobat show the first day and it was unlike anything I have seen but was really good. Then we did alot of other sightseeing like the Great Wall of China. What I liked the best about it was the cable cars even though I was afraid at first. One thing that I have noticed is there a lot of people and we end up being squeezed between many people we don't know but our group has done a great job staying together. Our meals haven't been too adventurous yet cause by the time we get back to the room for dinner we are so tired we just get pizza hut or eat at the hotel restraunt. We sure do love the breakfasts they serve, it amazing all the choices and some things are not what you would expect for breakfast like corn on the cob, rice, noodles, pasta salad, but then some other foods like fried breadsticks and dim sum. We did get one good Chinese meal though yesterday which was also connected to a shop with jade.

It hasn't been as hot as I expected for the first part of this trip but think it will get hotter at our other stops. Still hot and humid but bearable at least. We went to a Pearl shop today, it was fun to look around, never been to one before.

Most importantly is that tomorrow we fly to Chongqing and will get our Kiana in the afternoon around 3pm. I am still in disbelief that its tomorrow, finally we I get to hold our daughter. I am excited and a little nervous at the same time. Please pray that we have a safe flight and that all goes well with getting our little girl. We will be flying with several other families in our group tomorrow so will be nice not going alone.
