Hi everyone
we're still here! Honest!! We arrived i Beijing yesterday afternoon, however at 2am the day we were to leave, Frank ended up with wicked travellers runs and vomiting!!! I told him NOT to drink the water.... So we had a very stressful and tiring day yesterday. We had to take the trian from Tianjin to Beijing, and with my pake mule veing sick, the kids and I had to double up on the luggage. Man those kids are troopers. I don't know who Frank made it without passing out. Sheer will power for sure!! He feels good tonight, but it took him a full 24 hours to re-coup.

Tomorrow we're off to the Great Wall. So I'll post pics later tomorrow night.
Trail... we are going to the Olympic venues on Wed or thurs. We'll take pics for you.

Other than Frank, we are all doing alright, Lily is starting with a cold now. go figure!
The big girls are sleeping with their aunts tonight for a treat, Frank is sharing the king bed with Lily and Hanlin and I get the cot in the livingroom. (which I'm quite happy about) No kids kicking me!

Hope everyone is well.
Krista

How cool to visit the Olympic venues!! Can't wait to see pics of that!! Hope everyone is feeling better. Poor Frank!

We were in China last year for the Autumn Moon Festival. We discovered that the tradition in CQ was to go to the Holiday Inn and buy Moon Cakes. I tried to get a form to make moon cakes and our guide said "moon cakes are made in factories" LOL!! I guess some traditions just aren't meant to be!!
