Day 1

We arived in Beijing around 4pm local time -- didn't get to the hotel till 7pm. We are with a group of 2 other families and our tour guide Deon.

The next day we went to the Temple of Heaven and Tienamen Square and the Forbidden City. There are many people and cars and buildings everywhere in Beijing, yet right in the middle of this are areas like the Temple of Heaven -- with acres upon acres of trees and other open spaces - it is really amazing. We'll gotta go get some sleep --- each day in Beijing seems to be a long day!!!!

We are not able to access blogspots from our Hotel room, so Ashley (Alicia's sister) will be updating it for us -- thanks Flash!!!!
