We had another great day in Beijing! Today we went to the Forbidden City, Tian'anmen Square, the Temple of Heaven, and a Chinese tea room. I think the tea tasting was my favorite part of the day. We also had an awesome lunch! There was so much food...enough to share with two other families:)The Silk Factory was very interesting. Ellie has been learning about the Silk Road at school. This was an awesome hands on experience for her! She took lots of pictures to share with her teacher, and classmates. She kept saying..."my teacher is going to love this!" We have been talking alot today about getting Betsy on Monday. It is hard to believe we will have her soon. We are packing up tonight, and will fly to Harbin tomorrow. Our flight leaves at 11:40a.m. Please continue to pray as we are two sleeps away from Betsy's Gotcha Day! Pray that technology will continue to work for us when we get to Harbin. This will be my last post from Beijing. Harbin City...here we come!
Can't believe you are already getting ready to head that way!!!!! What an indescribable moment awaits you:) Prayers are going up!!! Lots of love, Jennifer
