Day 2 Beijing

Beijing
Bell Tower
Rickshaw Rdie



What a day. Trying to stay awake on local time to cure the jet lag. Everyone woke at 3:30am and had an early breakfast. Faye took us to the bank to exchange our money to Yuan.  What a huge pile of money when it is in Yuan. Then we went to the grocery store to buy water. Crazy busy and you can buy anything you could ever want. All high end name brand counters on the top level such as Apple, North Face,  cosmetic brands etc. Lovin this, gotta get Bach here later. Next we went sightseeing for a couple hours and took the subway. Faye loves to walk and we nearly froze but she found a Starbucks and saved the day.  Took a rickshaw through old Beijing. What an experience that was. Dinner with the group again and back to the hotel to reduce our luggage for the domestic flight tomorrow to Nanchang. We go to Nanchang alone and meet a new guide who will take us to Jasmine! We become parents tomorrow and can' t wait to see that precious face for the first time. We can't believe we are here and only hours away from her now. Might be a restless night. Next time we post she will be in our arms.
