We're Here!

We are in Beijing! The flight was long.  John and I tried to sleep but only napped on and off.  We had our own video units on the seat backs so we could watch movies, tv and play games galore.  It really helped to pass the time.  We arrived on time and made it through the temperature checks and immigration quickly and easily. After we met our guide Linda, we were able to do a drive by of the birds nest and swimming cube.  We checked into our hotel quickly, then we were taken out for an authentic chinese food dinner, the peking duck was fantastic, and that's from someone who won't eat duck in the US! John loved it.
We are now back in our hotel, trying to stay up a little bit longer, but I have a feeling the minute I lay down, I'll be out.
Tomorrow is sightseeing and a late flight to Nanning.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
More to come!
