We have arrived in Beijing and have checked in for the night. It was nearing dusk when we arrived at the airport, so lack of daylight, combined with fog and smog, limited our view of the city as we rode to our hotel.The photo attached is from our flight today. We were surprised to learn that our plane took the polar flight plan, essentially heading up and over the North Pole. The photo shows a graphic of our location roughly halfway through the 13 1/2 hour flight.We are very tired so won't venture out tonight (it's almost 8 p.m. here). Instead, we're catching up on news from the Iowa caucuses. More tomorrow after our trip to the Great Wall...

Hey, you two international travelers! Your dad and I were wondering if you would take the polar flight path. How exciting! We were very polar here too until we got to Junction City where it suddenly was warmer.
Hope you got to get some sleep on the flight to make you ready for your Great Wall adventure. Have a wonderful day! We love you so! Love, Mom & Dad
Hey...happy to hear that you've completed the first "leg" of your journey. We're so excited to read your blogs...its as if we're there with you each step of the way. Have fun at the Great Wall. We'll expect lots of pics. Our love and prayers...

Brent and Kari,

We're very excited here as well and happy to hear that you arrived to China safely. Can't wait to for the updated blogs. Thank goodness for the internet! We check the blog a couple times a day to see if there is any updates and Lauren is always excited to see the picture of her cousin Lily. Can't wait to spoil her and get her started in dresses, heels and lipstick, you can thank me later.
How appropriate that you traveled "on top of the world" to finally meet the precious little person who has put the two of you on top of the world for months. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Love and prayers,
Carolyn Kern
Glad we checked tonight to see if you were able to log on internationally and update us all! I know you can't wait to get her in your arms!
Love from the Piersons!
