Today has been a great start to my trip. To begin the day, I met some amazing families from my travel group. Two of the other moms are in a Facebook group I belong to. It is so nice to meet them in person. Another family is from Louisiana!!!! We have a great travel group, and a terrific guide.
We started our day with a ride in a rickshaw (okay, so that might be the way to spell it). Then we went to Hutong. It was a great place to experience the culture. We visited the home of a local artist, who lives in one of the historic homes.

Our next stop was the silk factory......so cool!

After a delicious lunch, we went to Tiananmen Square, and the forbidden city. It was amazing to walk though these ancient areas. And to experience places that are so important to the Chinese people.

I'm having a wonderful time, but counting down the days until our Gotcha day!!!!
Thank you so very much for your continued prayers!!!
