The Great Wall & Saying Goodbye

This morning we headed off for the Great Wall. A gentle rain ended as we arrived, leaving everything fresh and clean. We rode the ski lift up to the wall, walked around for almost 2 hours, rode the tobagins back down, then shopped in the small market for about 30 minutes.

Then it was off to a fantastic lunch in Beijing and back to Langfang. We visited each of the children's homes one last time to play with the kids, pray for them, and say goodbye.

On Sunday we will leave early again and spend the entire day in Beijing, first going to church, then lunch, visit the Temple of Heaven, and finally shopping. We will return late in the day and pack for early morning departures for home on Monday.

Everyone is still well, all have had a wonderful time, and we are ready to get back home. See you soon!
