We Made It!!!!

Well, we are finally here. What a long, exhausting trip! Thankfully, I was able to sleep a couple of hours. We arrived here around 2:30 p.m. on Friday, which was 12:30 a.m. back home. We were met at the airport by our guide, Grace, and taken straight to our hotel. The flight didn't make me motion sick at all; however, the driver that brought us to the hotel made up for that! Let's just say the rules of the road here in Beijing are not the same as in Temple, TX! Our hotel is very nice. It's called Poly Plaza. We are advised not to drink the water, so we use bottled water to take medication, brush our teeth, etc. Tomorrow morning we start out at 9:00. Grace will meet us in the lobby and we will tour the Great Wall, The Forbidden City, and Tian En Men Square. We will post photos as soon as we can. Till tomorrow...
