The Longest Day Ever!

We are here! We arrived at SF airport this morning at 8:00am. The flight left at 11:00a.m. We arrived in Beijing at 2:30pm! 11:30pm your time! Wow! We are tired!....but still ticking. Our guide "John" met (can't pronounce his name) us at the airport right after we met another family adopting through the same agency. I am amazed at how many people wanted to help us out. There was a woman with her three children that Jeff helped with her baggage. She lives here now but graduated form San Ramon High School (my schools rival). She told us to call if we needed anything...as well as another man we met on the plane who comes here often...like our friend Mary Davis! He gave us numbers to call if we needed anything. Very comforting to know we are being taken care of! Well, this is taking me way too long to write this because my brain feels fuzzy...we are off to walk around and stay awake! Our guide is going to pick us up at 6:30 and take us to an acrobat show. Anything to keep us awake so we can adjust to the time. We will post tomorrow...hopefully with pictures!
