What a ride! I am experiencing some technical difficulties with this blog -- all of my menus are in Chinese and I am not exactly the one to ask to translate it. Anyway, we finally arrived late Thursday evening at least it was here. We hadn't slept much on the plane so we were able to go to sleep pretty quickly. The podcast is still a work in progress, I had a few issues with the power in the room last night (tripped a breaker, blew a fuse or something like that). Anyway, after changing rooms and finally getting to where I could work on the website a little, I was able to post several new pictures. I did not have any time to edit them though for size so they may take a little time to load. The events of the day were: The Great Wall (which is a whole new blog entry by itself), the jade factory, the silk factory, the Summer Palace, and my favorite -- One of Living Hope's orphanages. The Children at the orphanage did a little show for us and were very friendly and had smiles for everyone. It was great.
Once I get the podcast up I will have a little bit of video of the outside of the Olympic arena for the 2008 games which looks like a ball of twisted metal but an interesting design nonetheless. We are going to be parents tomorrow, Sunday, and we are VERY excited -- I am sure it will be hard to sleep tonight (maybe). Keep checking back and I hope that you will be able to see some of our adventures in video soon.
