last day in china...

well folks, it's that time!
time for the last day in china.

i talked to the team this morning around 10am (10pm china time) and they are all pretty wiped out. they are in beijing now and they spent the day on the great wall, tienamen square (sorry, i forget how to spell it :) and at a fancy-schmancy ancient chinese restaurant. tomorrow, they will spend the day on silk street (the most famous shopping street in beijing) and then they have a plane to catch around 6pm. it is strange to think they will leave china on friday night and arrive here on friday night! it's like they are time travelers :)

their time in bejing has been great as they have several chinese friends who made the trip to beijing with them. an old friend from a previous trip also came and met them in beijing, which was a great surprise.

think if them today and tomorrow. the exhaustion is setting in, and several are feeling under the weather as they have a long day of travels ahead.

for the first time, they are flying direct from beijing to washington, dc...it is a blessing to have a direct route which will save on travel time. they have a short hop into philly where they will arrive around 11pm tomorrow night.

more updates to come as the team reflects on their time in china.

with love
angie
