We're here!

Beijing welcomed us with nice weather and not too busy of an airport.  I thought it might be really crazy since Beijing is such a big city.  But, no problem!  Before we got off the plane we had to fill out a "health information card" stating that we hadn't been exposed to the swine flu, in contact with any pigs, or have any flu symptoms.  Then we passed through immigration, picked up our luggage, sailed through customs, and quickly found our adoption agency's guide.  

We brought a couple of suitcases for my Chinese teacher, who will be moving back to China in a few weeks.  She had one of her friends meet us at the airport to pick up those bags.  It was nice meeting someone she will be working with.  I know she will be greatly missed on the college campus!

Here you can see our flight path. We went right over the North Pole! We didn't have window seats and most people had their shades down since it was daylight for the whole trip! We did find a window on the doors where we were able to look out and see the Arctic ice. That was very cool!



OK, well, we're going to go have breakfast/supper, then walk to a store to get some water, then back here to SLEEP! Tomorrow sounds like a VERY busy day.
