We made it to Beijing!! We are so excited to finally be here! The kids did great on the flight, though kept asking "how long did I sleep" and the other bad thing- the videos were down. DOWN I tell you!! The whole 13 and half hours. But, I have to say that the kids did amazingly well. We are now hunkered down in our hotel. After venturing out to Carreforre for water. And a brush. : )

This is from Sammy to his class:

We are in China! The plane ride was long. There is a lot of smog here. But our hotel is cool. And we saw a squid shop!! I will write more soon!

To Katie's class:

Hi Miss White and friends!!! I am in China right now. It is going to be fun. I ate dumplings and noodles and rice for dinner!!! It was delicious. Talk to you later!

We will send some photos soon!!
