We Are HERE!!!!!!!

Pinch us!!!

Still can't believe we are HERE!!!!

I'm just going to dive right into the culture, cuz that's pretty much what we have to do. 

And we are loving every minute of it!

We have a very large group of families, 

Maybe 8 couples plus 4 families (they brought their children)

We very much draw attention everywhere we go!

One family has been stopped countless times for pictures with them. It's so funny! 

Yesterday we toured The Forbidden City and T.Square. 

Lots. Of. Walking. 

Pretty hot weather this day as well.

 And just when you thought THIS was the most important building...you are soon told, THIS next building is THE most important building.

Pretty sure, THIS was the most important building, but maybe not.

Split pants.  Have you seen/heard of them? Babies here are traditionally not diaper wearers. So split pants are handy when it's time to go, they are held over the ground to pee...anywhere.

Look closely, this little one is being held over mama's lap, pants pulled down.  Notice the puddle below. Don't step in puddles in Ch.

Day 2 in Beijing:

Great Wall!!!
