We finally left Dulles around 1:00 pm and the flight was uneventful. The passenger sitting with us was so happy we were adopting from China and commented on what a wonderful life Kristin would be offered. We both slept off and on the flight. We arrived in Beijing this afternoon around 3:3O (Beijing time). Scott and I went through customs and picked up our luggage. We then met a driver who took us to the hotel, which was about 90 minutes away. It was lightly snowing and there was lots of traffic - from cars, bicycles, mopeds, "container- looking" type vehicles and buses - not to mention the walkers. Our facilitator met us at the hotel and we ate dinner at a Chinese Restaurant within walking distance of the hotel. Scott and I are headed to bed. We are both tired and have to meet everyone in the lobby at 8:30. Tomorrow we travel to The Great Wall and maybe see an Acrobat Show and then do some shopping. We are getting closer and closer to meeting our daughter! We will send pictures tomorrow!
