We made it to Beijing at 9:30pm and to our hotel at 10:45pm. Our guide is very nice and worked hard to get us a better room. Our driver is nice as well... He is so calm with all the traffic. We are told that the traffic at night is very light. It is amazing to me how everyone just goes. The flights were ok. I did not sleep that much but Steve sure did. He can sleep anywhere!

We leave in the morning for the first day of our tour and it should be a long day we are told. Our guide, Ann, told us to expect LOTS of walking. So far everything is going well and all of our bags made it safely. Temperatures are predicted to be 97 degrees tomorrow with lots of humidity. I am off to bed and will post photos tomorrow night!!!! HAPPY July 4th!

Jesse... Mom and Dad miss you lots and will be calling you soon!!! Be good. We love you lots.
