We've Arrived

We are here in Beijing. We are completely exhausted.  Hoping to get some rest tonight.  
We walked around tonight.  The culture is so different here.  We had dinner and no one in the restaurant spoke English; it was quite an experience.  We really didn't even know what we were ordering.  We just laughed and took our chances :).  I finally was able to communicate enough to get a fork.  Greg, Kailey and Brady are much better with chopsticks than I am.  I'm sure they thought I was crazy.  Oh well...
We'll be in Beijing for three days and then go to Ruthey's province.  Our guide will pick us up at 8:30 in the morning to take us around for sightseeing.
