Howdy from Changsha, China. Our suitcase arrived from a tour of Asia at 10:00 pm on Sunday. It arrived out of the blue, after spending a short holiday in Tokyo.

We spent Sunday and Monday site-seeing. We saw the Summer Palace, where the Emperor spent his holidays. We also went to the Great Wall. Both were beautiful. We have taken plenty of photos and video of Beijing and the sites to share when we get home.

We are just now waiting nervously for the arrival of Isabel. We are killing time in the hotel until the babies arrive from the orphanage. They should be here within the next two hours. We will send an update in the next couple of days. Until then, wish us and Isabel good fortune and plenty of sleep.

Brian and Michelle.
