We are finally here after a long plane ride and jet lag.

The flights all took about 27 hours so we were wiped out when we finally arrived. Got into Beijing and went to bed the first night but everyone's schedules are off.

Have done some sightseeing and Gwen proved to be her own attraction to people - she has been petted, hugged and had her picture taken with the locals.

Apparently red hair is a bit exotic here. When she put on our Chinese headband, she had a crowd of people around her at the park.
More great sites today and saw the acrobat show - Gwen missed out this morning since she was a little sick but she has perked up and hopefully will be on China time soon. I've been the luckiest with jet lag so far but I'm wiped out now - it's about 11:00 here. We have one more day in Beijing and then head to Xian on Sunday to pick up Rebecca.

We've gotten no more details yet about our meeting - I guess we'll find out soon!

I'm glad you all arrived safely. We've been thinking of you often. It looks so cool. I LOVE the Chinese headband! Tell Gwen her Godfamily is thinking of her. Can't wait to see and hear more!
