Day 2... We are in Nanchang

Hi all! I finally have the camera and the computer cooperating but I still can't see what I am posting and I seem to be having trouble getting the pictures in the text when I type so to see the pictures, you should be able to click on that "flicker" box on the left, where the pictures change, and see the pictures.

Today we went to Tiananmen Square and to the Forbidden City (very interesting) before flying to Nanchang. We also went on a rickshaw ride through an older section of Beijing and had tea in a family's home. It was interesting to see their house and talk with them. Our guide, Mary, was fantastic! We arrived here around 8:00pm and met briefly with our new guide Monica. Tomorrow at 11:00am (11pm on Sunday in Virginia) I will meet Brynn here in the hotel. There were a lot of couples on our plane with strollers but no children and my dad went to check out the hotel a little while ago and commented he thinks our floor is full of adopting families so my guess is that there will be many families coming together here tomorrow.

So I am going to now attempt to sleep! I'll post the pictures as soon as I can!

P.S. Price, I did not need sticky tape on my shoes for The Great Wall; there were just lots and lots of stairs and they were uneven because they were so old and many people have walked on them. It made me tired though! Caleb, I have opened your notes - thank you! They made me smile! Evan, Make sure you give your jersey to daddy to wash so you can wear it every day!
