We Climbed the Great Wall of China Today

Today, we climbed the Great Wall of China at Badaling. It was amazing. We then toured a Cloissonne factory and shopped there. We also visited the Beijing Olympic Stadium and then had dinner with the family of a good friend, who arranged the Beijing tour for us. They were so nice, the food was wonderful, and we really enjoyed our visit with them.

Hi Janet,

I know. This is a trip of a lifetime for me, too. I am really enjoying it. And, yes, it is Rachel's third birthday today. Glad you got to go see Mario today, even if I could not be there with you. We'll go as soon as I get back so we can catch up.

Love you,

Jo Dawn
