Day 3

This was our last day in Bejing and probably the most spectacular day of all!!! We took an 1.5 ride to the Great Wall!  We bought a ticket and took the cable car up to the top and then spent the next 1.5 walking. We decided to take the "easier" route but there is nothing like walking the Great Wall to make you realize how completely out of shape you really are! And if the steep stairs and long walk didn't make you feel out of shape then the 80 older men with canes will ;-) Dan opted to stay at the bottom and wait for us since we figured it would be a long day and he has been there before.  Once the boys and I reached the bottom of all the stairs, I told them to go without me. A girl knows her limits ;-) The views they took from the top were breathing taking... I can't wait to update with pictures.

We then ate an amazing Chinese restaurant with noodles, Perch fish, rice, veggies, and corn cake with sprinkles and sugar on top. This might get my little kids to eat more veggies if we added sprinkles and sugar HAHA! After that it was another 1.5 ride to the airport. We loaded up on Starbucks and took off on a 3 hour flight to Kunming. Kunming is the capital of the province of Yunnan.  We arrived here after midnight, our guide told us our Civil Affairs appointment where the director of the orphanage will bring Brooklyn to us was changed to 1:20pm. Which is after midnight your time.. Please pray for peace for her and that she would feel our love immediately.

Good night!
