No bumps in the road

Seriously couldn't have asked for a better, smoother travel day. We left our house at 4:15am on Thursday and arrived in Beijing at 4 on Friday afternoon.  Our guide, Flora, was waiting for us with Mr. Li, the van driver, and we took off for the Inner Mongolia Hotel.

There, we were introduced to a mom and her newly adopted daughter-SO SWEET!! 

Our only glitch was that our hotel wouldn't accept and exchange the brand new $100 bills. So.... We didn't have any money for supper...but honestly, we were both so tired it really didn't matter.

We were both OUT by 7pm...and then awake at 11:30pm...but went back to sleep and slept pretty well until 6 this morning.

We ate a huge breakfast with our new friends. A buffet with cereals, pastries, breads, eggs, meats, fruit and sheep entrails...guess which we didn't eat??!

Midway through the day, I looked at lee and said, can't you just feel the prayers of everyone surrounding us? We really,  truly can.
