Hello from Beijing!! Today we spent touring Tiannamen Square and the Forbidden City. Both were truly amazing. We probably walked about 5 miles in the blistering heat and humidity and the boys all did so well. No whining at all!
We also went to a silk factory and had a traditional Chinese lunch with all the other families in our travel group. We have 5 other children in the group, so that's been great. Three families are back for their 3rd adoption from China! Five families are adopting girls and three are adopting boys. Soooo exciting!
We then had a thrilling ride on a rickshaw through the Hutong part of the city.
In the evening we ventured out on our own to eat at a local food court. Had a great time hanging with the locals and taking in the city culture. The boys are stopped almost constantly to have their photos taken. It's hilarious!! They can't quite figure it out!
Can't wait to get to Zhengzhou and meet Ruby!
Can only post a few pix at a time...will update more when home
