So thankful for such a wonderful first day in Beijing--especially the heat in our great hotel room. Off to the Great Wall in the morning. Love to you all!

Ni Hao from Beijing!
We made it! Thankfully our trip was quick (as quick as a flight to Chicago and 14 hour jaunt across the world can be)! Our guide, George, is fantastic. He has taken us on a whirlwind tour of the city, including a FREEZING rickshaw ride in 10 degree weather! I am amazed at how differently the Chinese live. Being here reminds me how very blessed we are! One woman we visited has to leave her home just to use the bathroom, and if she wants to shower she has to visit a bath house. Hard to even imagine.
