Safely in Beijing!

We are finally here in Beijing. We had a great trip. Flight was delayed a few hours but it was all good. Our wonderful guide Sara met us at the airport. We have already been on a couple tours to the Lama Temple and seen a show with the Acrobats. We are experiencing the many sites and sounds of Beijing which tickle your senses. There are many bicycles in the streets and they are very crowded. The whole travel group will be with us by tomorrow and we will be meeting our daughter Mercy on Sunday when we fly to Chongqing.

We have eaten some good meals at various restaurants - all good. We are taking another tour of a temple tomorrow. The pics will say it all.

Great to hear that you made it! Sounds like you're enjoying yourselves. Won't be much longer and Mercy will be in your arms! Sophie prays at bedtime for her Auntie Deb, Uncle Roger & baby Mercy. Can't wait to see the Gotcha Day pics!

Hooray! I've been checking your blog every few hours. Glad to see an update. So you arrived safely and it appears you're having a good time experiencing the culture already. Isn't the acrobat show amazing? I'll keep checking for updates especially around Gotcha Day. Can you just feel how close you are to her? I'm so excited for you both.

P.S. We'll be thinking about you and missing you at the Pickle Barrel tonight.
