We made it through our first day in China! We started out with an Orientation with our adoption agency. We got to meet all the families in our group and hear details about the rest of our trip. After that meeting, we had a wonderful lunch with everyone. Then we headed out for some sightseeing.
First, we went to Tiananmen Square and walked around for a little while. The weather was beautiful today ... the temperature was probably around 40 degrees, but it was very sunny, so it felt warmer. Then we went across the street to The Forbidden City. It's in the background of this picture.
When we finished seeing The Forbidden City, we had been walking for well over 2 hours! Then we went to a silk factory where we learned about how silkworms spin silk and then how it is made into fabric. It was really interesting.
Jet lag - We're doing pretty well with it so far. It may hit us more in the next couple of days, though.
Tomorrow - Kenzi Day! We leave for the Beijing airport at 8:30 am and then fly to Fuzhou. We are scheduled to get Kenzi late in the afternoon.
