Arrival in Beijing!

We are so excited to be here in Beijing! Getting here took longer than we expected (mostly due to the fact that our one-hour flight was delayed for almost an hour), but we are here! We are staying in the lovely Inner Mongolia Grand Hotel that is a stone’s throw from Tian An Men Square and the Forbidden City (okay, that is an exaggeration, but we are CLOSE!) Besides the proximity to these famous locations, our hotel also has soft beds! This is an oddity for China, even for hotels in China. Oh my goodness…we have not slept in a soft bed in 8 months (minus the week in the Philippines), and it is soooooooo comfortable. J We are very happy to be here, and are so excited for all of the amazing sights that we will be seeing.
