Hello from Beijing!











We're here and we're really tired!! Our flight turned into a 17 hour one with a stop in Alaska! We got checked into the Plaza Hotel in Beijing at 11:00 last night.




Today we toured Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. All are unbelievable!! Such a great experience, but it was FREEZING!




The photo of Soph and I shows what 17 hrs. straight on a plane will do to you! The rest are from today's touring. We traveled here with a great couple, Bill & Cybil who are from NJ. They are here to bring their daughter, "Amie" home!!




Tomorrow we fly to Nanning in the morning and then Monday we get Alena!! Today we got a report from her foster family~ she just sounds so awesome!




Love,




Jenni
