Hey guys, Finally we are in Chongqing and we are leaving at 2 for Wal Mart to shop for the babies. YEAH! We have paid our $$ and tomorrow we get baby Claire!!! So, here is about our day yesterday and I will post and blog some more tonight. Love to you all! xoxo MA and J
We started our day with our last yummy Western Breakfast. Got pics of it to come. Then we started out at Tianamen Square, so crowded. The air is heavy and smoggy, constantly crowded and dull, we have only seen sunshine once since being here due to the smog. Jason says he takes back what he earlier said about the traffic "not being so bad" ha ha! Imagine rush hour in Dallas x100 but wait it gets better ! After Tianamen Square we spent a lot of time at the Forbidden City. Then we went to a copper factory where they make beautiful Asian vases and had another traditional Asian meal. This time our guide is Michael, a very nice 27 year old guy who dreams of coming to America. He will be with us until we fly to Guanzghuo. Finally, our day ended at the Great Wall, we climbed at least 1000 feet straight up. We even got a engraved hero card for climbing the Great Wall, we were so proud of ourselves! We even saw the couples and film crew of the Amazing Race going up. But.... we got back to the bottom of the Wall huffing and puffing and we found some more hero cards, same as ours but for NOT NOT going up. So, we didn't even have to climb it after all that! Oh well..... We got some more life gifts for Claire, a silk handkerchief for her wedding day and a pic of the Great Wall on rice paper. So, we will blog more later, going to Wal Mart. We are SSOOO Hungry for Tex Mex! Give me some Poncho and Lefty's! Thanks for all the emails/blog comments, we are really enjoying them.
