We are in Wuhan!!!

We arrived safely in Beijing late Thursday night. Friday we met the Hunters at breakfast and enjoyed a twelve hour day of touring. We visited the Forbidden City, Tiannanmen Square, Temple of Heaven, Hutong neighborhood including a rickshaw ride, visiting a school and eating lunch with a local family. We toured a silk factory and ended the day with an amazing acrobatic show. We were all exhausted and could barely keep our eyes open! Saturday we visited a jade factory, climbed the Great Wall and visited the Summer Palace. Greg and the Hunters went to dinner at the renowned Peking Duck Restaurant and I stayed at the hotel and tried to catch up on my sleep. Then today we flew to Wuhan. On the trip from the airport to our hotel, the White Rose, our guide, Eric, told us we will depart from the hotel around 8:30am tomorrow morning and will receive our children at 9am(6pm Sunday evening for everyone back home). We actually drove across the bridge where Sarah was abandoned on the way to our hotel. We are hoping to go back and get some pictures of the bridge later this week. We checked into our hotel and walked to Carrefour with our guide. For pictures you can also check the Hunters blog www.hubeiboy.blogspot.com .
We are very excited that tomorrow is Gotcha Day and our anniversary!! We can't wait to finally meet our Sarah Michaela Mei. We will post pictures as soon as we can.
