Day in Beijing

We have had a full day in beijing and so tired/jet lagged so the post will be short! We got a notebook full of information and 6 new pictures of libby xiao this morning - which just makes it so hard being so close to her but still so far away. She is so freakin cute! We fly out to her Province SHanxi tomorrow at 5:00pm which I am really look forward too. Beijing is so packed with people its insane and the pollution is unreal. They say they only really get to see the sun or stars about 22 days a year due to the smog and heavy pollution. The driving here will give you an ulcer----no rules, no lanes!

We did the Great Wall today which was such an amazing moment in life to be surround by such beauty. We got to see the Birds Nest from the Summer Olympics. I think the most amzing part so far is just being with others who are adopting little chinese babies. Its fun to share our passion with others and get to see forever families being made. Its 5pm here and i think we are about to go to bed.
