Our first day in Beijing was long, and hot - no water anywhere in sight, but if you drink anything then the girls have to use the public bathroom.... and that's not good. We started at the Temple of Heaven, then part of the old Beijing city (Hutong), and finally watched the **very** cool Beijing Theater Acrobats; they made some of Cirque du Soleil look tame by comparison. After dinner tonight we went to the "supermarket" to load up on diet Coke and water for tomorrow; to understand how crowded it was, take WalMart on Thanksgiving Friday @ 8am and multiply x5. Next time it's 7-11 for us.
Tomorrow we do the big tour day - Forbidden City, Great Wall, and Tiananenmen Square, and then up early on Sunday morning to catch the plane to Chongqing and meet Lily after lunch. We got updated measurements today: she's 27.5in tall and 18.7lb. Now if she only comes with hair!
Too late tonight to pull pictures off the memory card, but you can see pix of Beijing lots of places. Maybe tomorrow we'll put up a few.

To Amanda: Now you can quit stressing - Lily is more inches than she is pounds :) I can't wait to see her pictures.
To Troy: This website is great but you overlooked one very important feature...I CANNOT ENLARGE THE PICTURES :( Can you please fix that in your spare time?
Congratulations guys!
Hey Amanda: Thank God you got the Diet Coke. I was worried. Congratulations, Have Fun and We all cannot wait to see more pics soon.
Hi guys! What is happening? I am very deprived of info here. It is 9:40pm there and no posting yet. Please put us out of our misery. Seriously, hope all is well and you've gotten Lily by now. Can't wait to see pictures. :o)
