We made it to China…thanks to all of you praying us here. Very early on Monday morning, we spent 1 ½ hours on the tarmac in Colorado Springs before the pilot was cleared for takeoff. The delay was anxiety producing yet we felt confident that we were in Good Hands! Stepping off the plane in Beijing we had two thoughts – where is the forest fire? (the air quality is so bad in Beijing due to their use of coal, etc. and getting a good, clean breath of air was not possible) and wow! Look at this airport! The new airport built
in time for the Olympic games is magnificent.
We were happy to find ALL our bags
, to exchange our dollars for RMB,
and find the driver who was hired to pick us up
Happy Thanksgiving ALL – we are on our way to the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square. More about your visit to cousin’s Cindy and Phil soon!
