We are in Sophie's Birth Country!

Well, we made it to Beijing.  After a long 11.5 hour flight from San Francisco, we made it!  Once we got thru customs and baggage, we met our ADORABLE guide, Susan.  She is funny, quick-witted, knowledgeable and speaks great English.  She and our driver took us to our hotel, the Jiangou Garden Hotel, where we just wanted to crash.  With the time change, it is actually Thursday evening now. Tomorrow we have lots of sight seeing planned, and can't wait to share pictures!  Off to bed to work on this jet lag!

 View from our room~ High rise buildings and a padoga

The longest east-west street in Beijing is right in front of our hotel- it's called the street of longevity and peace.

  1. Wow, wow, wow! I'll try not to comment on every post so as not to be totally annoying, but I am soaking up every second of this. Thank you so much for sharing, Emily!
