We are finally in China!
After a relatively comfortable 13-hour flight (we were very lucky to land emergency exit seats), we landed in Beijing yesterday afternoon. Today is a free day (before the two days of group tours and a Sunday night flight to Hubei - Jessi's province!!) so we went to the Temple of Heaven. Besides the lovely Ming architecture, we enjoyed the tranquility of the vast park. There apeared to be more Chinese tourists than Westerners though we did spy a couple kids in Crocs - dead giveaway that they were Americans!! Weather has been relative hot and humid but not unbearable. A delicious green tea ice cream cooled us off. Tomorrow we are supposed to visit the Summer Palace, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square.

Make sure when you get to Wuhan to check out the comb store. It is on the way to the mall and before you get to Mcdonalds..
