Day #4 Beijing/Great Wall/Ceremony











Today we met the whole travel group. There are 10 other families from my orphanage. First we went to a ceremony in the morning then we went to the great wall then to the Olympic site. The great wall was fun, we took a cable car to the top and walked down. The stairs were really steep in some places. After lunch we went to the Olympic site and saw the birds nest, watercube and the gymnastics place. There were many people trying to sell us stuff there, it was fun.

Peiton

At the Civil Affairs office Peiton was given a gift from the Minister of Civil Affairs. He is in charge of all the social welfare institutes in china as well as the CCAA. He really seemed to enjoy the children. There were many people taking pictures at the event. We made the CCTV news which is broadcast through out China. On the great wall Peiton hung out with Elly, who is from Indiana and 7 years old.
