7:30pm...last night in Beijing

What a day...the Great Wall was everything we've heard about and so much more. I thought that I was in pretty decent shape, definitely able to hike for miles...well that all changed when your faced with climbing the Great Wall. It was much more steep than either of us imagined and we had our work cut out for us.
We started the day with a tour of the Jade Factory, very cool...some of the carvings were amazing. Then lunch, the amount of food that they have been serving us is really out of control, the platters never stop coming and the dishes have been excellent. We followed lunch with the Great Walk...up the stairs of the Great Wall, great timing, perfect to walk off the huge lunch. The one thing about Beijing that were not really prepared for is the smog..the pollution is really terrible and we cannot imagine spending too much more time here. You will be able to see the smog in the photos..we woke up to it and it never went away.
Well tomorrow is the big day, GOTCHA DAY, and I am so excited and a little bit nervous. We will receive our babies at 4:00pm at the hotel which is great. We will be able to talk to the nannies that have taken care of our baby and get her schedules for feeding and napping. Our flight takes off at 11:10 and we will have a few hours to get situated before Alison joins our lives forever...we are so happy.
