Took a bus to visit the famous Great Wall of China with all the adopting families. Joy talked to us about Chinese culture while riding the bus. We visited a Cloisonne factory in our way to the Great Wall. There was a lot of traffic when arriving to the place where we had to park. Took a gondola ride up to the wall and went sight-seeing. There were so many tourists and so many pesty vendors! The tourist crowd reminded me of Niagara Falls.

Hello, we enjoyed your new pictures - the Great Wall looked great and it looks like Assen is having a wonderful time - he is always smiling. We are headed out to supper at Fish Lips - not Chinese tonite for us. Bet you can not wait to get Sophia on Monday.
Praying that everything will go smoothly - we are headed home tomorrow (Sunday - 4/6/08)

Love Mom and Dad
