Again I want to apologize for the lack of pictures. Some will be coming soon. I will figure out how to update and add pictures.
Today we took about a 1.5 hour ride to see the Great Wall. It was great! It was so great that the steps were so steep and tall that it was frightening. We took the optional root/path and headed up another way. It was much easier as the steps were very doable (at least for us shorter legged folk).
Next, we had lunch at an enamel factory. We enjoyed lunch then shopping. Everything was hand painted/hand made such as Christmas ornaments, vases, bowls, tea sets etc.....
Next we saw the Olympics stadiums, the Cube, and the Birds nest.
We had a quick break then headed out to an Acrobatic Show.
This show was amazing!
Hat juggling. Umbrella twirling (with feet), motorcycles in the ball, a girl who climbed up on about 10 chairs stacked and did various balancing acts etc. So much fun! Very exciting! Kept me on the edge of my seat.
After the show we were all tuckered out and decided to call it a night to back up to the next city.
We will head to The Henan Province to pick up our girl on Sunday and actually pick her up on Monday morning. So excited! I have to keep pinching myself that this is real.
Next Post Zhengzhou!
Prayers needed for safe travels to the next city and for all of our health and adjustment as we grow our family.
Love,
Traci Xoxo
