We arrived safely after our 12 hour and 45 minute (!) flight from Detroit to Beijing. After linking up with Daniel and Lisa, we set off on a bus ride to our farmhouse at the base of the Great Wall, about 2 hours ride north of Beijing. We were treated to a fantastic meal (see Amanda’s forthcoming post for pictures) and even managed to work in an impromptu game of basketball before collapsing in our beds. All in all, a great first day!
