Bicycles and More Bicycles


Got out to the grocery store for bottled water and snacks, we got to check out the neighborhood here in this part of Beijing. LOTS of construction going on. Traffic is busy, darting everywhere with horns tooting. The most interesting part of street life was along the edge of the road: all the bicycles, mopeds, rickshaws, scooters and other contraptions.
Our group of seven families is about 30 people. We have a tour bus that shuttles us around. We went to an acrobatic show this afternoon. Incredible show of talent!
There is another group of families here at the hotel who are from Sweden who are in the adoption process. They have their children already, so we are enjoying seeing them around!

You are making memories that are just unforgetable. We loved China and miss it terribly. Glad you made it safe and adjusting well. We look forward to meeting you with the Lancaster FCC soon. We are following your journey and can't wait to see Bennett join in the fun! -- The Merkt Family
