Hello from Beijing Airport

We made it safely to Beijing and we are 4 hours into a 6 hour layover. After a 14 hour flight, this is not exactly what the doctor ordered! We had "dinner" at a restaurant here at the airport. After looking at my handy notecard listing all my diet restrictions, the wait staff determined that I could only have rice and scrambled eggs. Again, not exactly what the doctor ordered!

We are now sitting at the Sunbird Digital Relaxation Harbor. Oh how I have missed Asia! We were able to hook up our computer and watch the Notre Dame game. Okay, that was REALLY not what the doctor ordered! But, we thought it was funny that we were sitting in China watching ND football. My how technology has changed since we moved to Japan 9 years ago :)

Well, we should be in Taiyuan by 10:00 and in bed by midnight. We have a BIG day tomorrow!
