We made it! It is currently 6:30 am Thursday as I type this. We arrived last night about 9:30 pm and finally had our luggage delivered at 12:45 am this morning. We were so tired and thought it would never arrive! All I can say about the flight is that it was long, very long!
I can't say much about Beijing yet. We went down bar street on our way to the hotel last night. It is exactly what it sounds like. Row after row of night clubs. It is very close to the US, Australia and French embassy. Our guide said it we wanted to venture out there one evening that most people there speak English. You know us, we won't be venturing there!
The smog is terrible and it smells of pollution. We are on the 17th floor and can not see any further then maybe 1/2 mile. It is one busy city, we could hear the traffic all night and also the construction equipment. They are building everywhere. We are hopeful that we will be able to see some of the Olympic building.
Today we will venture out to visit the Chinese Ethnic Gardens and the Temple of Heaven. Everyone we have meet so far have been very nice. It looks like we are going to have a fun travel group!
I will try to post again tonight with picture from today's adventure.
Only 4 more night until we meet Megan!!
