I woke up this morning wondering where I was...definitely missing the bed back home, this one's a little hard...lol :)

I arrived yesterday morning at 11:30, got through customs, and somehow found Dad in the hundreds waiting for people to arrive. He met me with a beautiful arrangement of flowers and a big hug :)

I unpacked quickly then went out for dinner at a place called the Fangshan Restaurant. Beautiful setting in Beijing not far from the Forbidden City. I had a wonderful dinner of cucumber, bamboo shoots, snowpeas & green onion.

Now I'm off to see Dad at the college before I head out. Dad's co-worker Cynthia is taking me out shopping for the day :)
