One tourist had a very bad day when they backed their car off the ledge, almost falling into a ditch about 10 feet deep. There were 3 or 4 people in the car when it happened and we watched as a bunch of Chinese people ran to them and the back-seat passenger got helped out. This happened when we first got to the great wall and the car was still lodged there with no one even attempting to get it off the ledge when we left an hour and a half later. And for the guys in the office... yes, it was a female driver :)
I don't know if you can get your comments, but we are really enjoying your stories and pictures. I laughed so hard at the part about your big noses! It sounds like you are really having fun and also taking care of yourselves, eating good food, etc... We will continue to check the blog every morning. Aidan wants you to come and visit, so he can meet Bo Cheng, his "new cousin."

We definitely see the comments. It's almost 5 AM here right now and I have been barely sleeping all night. I think it is part jet lag and part excitement. We meet Bo first thing Monday morning so that is about 28 hours from now. I might have to resort to napping tomorrow. I'm also thinking about finding a park and joining a tai chi group just to relax. We'll see :)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering when you'll actually get to meet Bo... I can't even imagine the excitement, and knowing how close you are and yet haven't been able to meet him yet.
ReplyDeleteI also thought the comment about big noses was hilarious! :)
Hey guys! We had so much fun getting to know you in Beijing, we are just sorry that we won't see you in Guanzhou. We will keep in touch and will follow your blog. Can't wait to see Bo! We are sitting in our room about to come out of our skin b/c they are bringing Tai to us ANY MINUTE! Trying to stay busy reading blogs. Lots of love, and good luck!
