Trip to China
All Days  |  Previous Day  |  Next Update

Sunday, July 1, 2007 BEIJING! Beijing is a wonderful city. It is teaming with life. There are people from all over the world who visit and do business. The Chinese people are so proud of their country and culture. They have set a goal of 35% of the Beijing population to be fluent in another language by the Olympics next year in order to make visitors feel welcome. Yesterday we visited Tian a Men Square. You can see Roy with the monks. He is so shy…It rained most of the day, but we were so happy to be here that we were grateful that the rain kept the heat away. We toured the Forbidden City and Imperial Palace. Unbelievably large and grand, and forbidden to all but the Royal family and official visitors until the last emperor. Then we climbed, yes CLIMBED the Great Wall. It truly is a wonder and we can not believe we were able to experience it. We are bonding with the other families in our group. Already, they ask how I put up with Roy’s antics. He is having fun, and they all think he’s a joker. Wait until you see his Mao watch that he bought for $2. Everyone is giddy about today. We will fly to Nanchung and receive our babies this afternoon. Roy is about to actually shave. He is nervous with excitement and says he wants to make a good impression on Ava Claire. I have never felt so at peace. Stay tuned for photos of our little bundle…
