Okay, I am running out of internet time very quickly here, so I am going to do something rather unusual.  I am going to post a whole mess of pictures here, with some captions, and I will do my best to tell the stories later. 
 
Aletheia at the Bird’s Nest in Beijing
 
Aletheia as Statues at the Summer Palace in Beijing (Thank you Uncle John, Mr. Du and Peggy)
 
Me at the Water Cube, making the happy little Asian V for Victory signs… still can’t figure that out!
 
Hiking the Great Wall
 

The Leaders surprised us with a one-minute phone call home from the top of the Great Wall.  I’m on the phone with Dad here!
 
 
The Squad on the way up!
 
Gotta love having photographers on the Squad who know how to pose people… Mom, this is one for the Christmas Card!! 
 A note on the beautiful scarf I am wearing, one of my little freshman girls from the university knew we were headed to Beijing, and that it would be colder, so she knitted it for me.  So sweet!!
