Today was sightseeing day. Most of us work up early (between 4-5am) because we haven't adjusted to the time change. We spent a lot of time with our tour guide, Kevin explaining the history of Beijing, the old and the new parts as we rode.
We walked on the Great Wall of China. That was an amazing experience! Then we rode to one of the oldest part of the city and took Hutong Paticab tour through one of the oldest parts of town. We did some shopping and saw an acrobatic show at a theater. It was an amazing day of getting to build unity and relationships with our team and having fun at the same time.
For those of us that have never been to China we are enjoying the food. It is quiet an experience trying to eat with chopsticks, but we have managed not to starve.
The Father has build friendships and unity. Tomorrow we go to a local place called Hope Healing Home to see the work they do and spend time with the babies.
In the afternoon we will fly to Urumqi!
Requests: safe travel, unity, Father's appointments
