We had our second day of sightseeing in Beijing. We started off going to the Fangshan orphanage, which was established for children who can't be adopted because they have a living relative. The founder of Living Hope, Samual Fang, is the person who established this orphanage and 2 others in China. The older kids performed 3 wonderful dances for us and the younger kids sang Amazing Grace in both Chinese and English. After this we toured the orphanage and ate lunch with the kids. After the orphanage we headed to the Great Wall. The Wall didn't disappoint anyone. This was a great experience and this is one of the activities that Jared was looking forward to the most. From the Great Wall we went back to Beijing and did a drive by the Cube (Olympic Swimming) and the Bird's Nest where the 2008 Olympic Opening and Closing ceremonies, along with the Track and Field events, were held. We ended our day with a wonderful Peking Duck dinner. Well, we are packing now and getting ready to head to Xi'an City tomorrow morning to get our daughter!! This is the part that doesn't seem real...........
