Day 2-3 ... We made it!!

We arrived in China at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon on China time, which was about 3am in South Carolina! The flight from Chicago was almost 14 hours, that was very long. After we made it through customs, we took a bus to our hotel with our guide named Michelle.

One thing that was so cool was that the sun never went down during the whole trip over. After we took off from Chicago, we flew north over Canada, over the Arctic Ocean, past the North Pole, through Russia and Siberia and then finally in to Beijing, China. We saw big cracks in the ice as we flew over the Arctic Ocean. We also saw snowflakes stuck on the airplane windows. When we were getting close to the Beijing airport, we could see the Great Wall on top of some mountains.

Beijing is really modernized, alot like New York City. J has already had a McDonald's hamburger!
We are sleepy....good night! Oh and don't forget to check out my mom's blog at http://little-china.blogspot.com/ to get more details of this trip.
