Once we get Jonathan on Monday, there won't be much time for tourist type stuff. (We also won't be in Beijing by then!) So, today our guide took us to see some sights.
We had the opportunity to go to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and a tour of Hutong which included a rickshaw ride, and a tour of a home. Because we leave Beijing before the other families in our group, it was just Jeremy and I with our guide Joy for the majority of the day. Tonight we went to an Acrobatic Show with one of the other families. The show was amazing! As I type, we are waiting for a Pizza Hut pizza to be delivered which will be our dinner. Not sleeping well last night has caught up with us so we will let the pictures tell about our day!
- 1st picture is the Rickshaw ride
- 2nd picture is Tiananmen Square
- 3rd and 4th are of the Forbidden City (and no we do not know the little boy and women in the picture)
Feeling kinda tired. But we're keeping our sense of humor.
I'm so glad you are on this last leg of your journey to Jonathan. Praying protection over your travels and bonding for Jonathan's heart. What a miracle of adoption to see unfold...I just happened upon your blog from another...can't even remember now who!
ReplyDeleteIn a few months we'll be walking the same path as you for our son, Evan.
Thank you for sharing your journey!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI called to wish you the best on Wednesday but you (wisely) had your phone turned off. The pictures are great!! Have fun.

Wait ... "Pizza Hut Pizza"??? Booo! How about some Chinese food (you are in China after all)??
