Our guide took us to The Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City! The crowds at Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden city were almost overwhelming. Today was a great way to get to see the country and to get to know our travel group. We are really blessed with some great families traveling with us. We found out today that there will be another family traveling with us to Gansu. We were originally told that we would travel alone to Gansu, but now there are two other families traveling with us. Praise God! One of the families is adopting a little girl from the same orphanage as Monroe. Tomorrow we get up in the morning to take a two hour flight to Lanzhou (the capital of Gansu province).
