We have had two fabulous days in Beijing, one with our dear family friend, Li Hong and the second with the group of five families who have all come to adopt babies.
On our first day, we saw the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven and had lunch in the Back Sea area with our friend Li Hong.
It was fascinating to start to learn about our daughter's cultural heritage. We also spent time shopping at the famous Pearl Mart!
Yesterday we climbed the Great Wall- what an awesome accomplishment.
It was a beautiful day and as you can seem from the picture, we had very clear visibility.
It was much more strenous than expected, but well worth it.
Then we went to the Summer Palace, quite amazing! And it only took 20 years to complete....
Today we flew to Hefei and will soon be meeting our babies....
Stay tuned.
