Today's Activities: 4 hours of sleep and then The GREAT WALL OF CHINA
My Blog Entry: We finally got to the hotel at about 4:30 am and to bed about 5:30 am, making it a 36 hour day for many of the team. Some could sleep on the plane but others could not sleep. The Flight was delayed 3 hours in Shanghai (Shanghai'ed in Shanghai, as they say), so instead of arriving at 12:20 am, we arrived at 3:45 am. It was a long day but the team is well and everybody is very happy to be in China.
We first went to the Pottery manufacturing plant (a must see stop in Beijing, so they say) and then on to the Great Wall. Many of the team went to the top of several peaks and to several Pagoda's. We spend over 3 hours climbing and having a blast taking pictures and making friends with new people.
Lucy is our tour guide and friend and Mr. Ming is our driver. Jack and Shirley showed up at 5:30 pm and then we met Joey and Chuck at the hotel. They are both going to school in Beijing now for masters degrees. Jack and Shirley will travel with us and go to Guilin where we will marry them on June 30.
The team is doing great and they are adapting well to China and are very excited to see more and meet many new friends in Guilin.
Love from the other side of the World,
Dave
