Good evening,

Once again this is Kim. Bryan only sent me pictures before they headed to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. Hopefully, he'll email me something in his own words to describe their adventures so far.

This is Bryan's first time to go to this section of the Wall, and he was excited to explore more of this amazing, ancient structure. As this is Tommy's first trip to China, he was excited to be able to see two things he had to see while in Beijing: 1) Tianamen Square and 2) the Great Wall.

After visiting the GW, they had the afternoon free before meeting back with the group for dinner. They're planning on going to the Buy Now store this afternoon.

I realized as I was saving these pictures to our hard drive that they were at the Olympic Stadiums EXACTLY one year to the day of the Opening Ceremonies!!!! How cool is that?! I don't know if they went inside any of the buildings or just walked around the grounds. I'll be glad to get a written update, because when we've talked the girls have taken up the majority of the time.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.
