NI HAO FROM BEIJING!

We made it safely to Beijing. We had a great day of travel. On our first flight we were upgraded to first class and on the flight to Beijing, Greg and I had a whole row to ourselves. He had three full seats and I had three full seats. We were able to lay flat and sleep. This was huge!

When we landed in Beijing we were just through the health inspection and we notice security swarming around this young group of teens. We thought for sure they had stolen something. Security kept herding the kids through the airport and it wasn't until we noticed the large following of young girls taking pictures that we realized they weren't criminals after all. They were Rock Stars!!! The Chinese equivalent of the Jonas Brothers. What do we know? They looked like troublesome teens to us.

We are having an orientation in the morning and then it is on to Harmony House. We think we will meet Adam tomorrow. He cannot leave with us because it is not Gotcha Day but we will get to spend sometime getting to know him.

Anyway it is great to be here!
