We are here!

After a very long 24 hours of travel, we made it to Beijing! We are currently with two other families(both from SC) and expect two more this weekend. Everyone checked in, exchanged the big bucks, and walked to Carrefour (Chinese Walmart equivalent) to get some water, etc. and have supper close by. Our first few minutes in Carrefour were exciting as a brawl broke out in the dairy section and glass bottles were smashing as a crowd gathered. I guess things are not necessarily that different in Walmart back home ;D. anyway we are settled for the night and have a big day of sightseeing and also visiting our sister-in-law's brother, Jerry! We are looking forward to that!
Love to all...we miss our kids back home!!

  4. thank you all for the prayers! And yes no more Carrefour adventures ....apparently there was an incident in the Square just before we arrived there where a man tried to set himself on fire! now THAT would have topped the store brawl!
