Blogging from Beijing

JP and I finally made it to Beijing. It is really hard to believe that the Russia and Mongolia parts of our journey are but a distant memory now. We kept pinching ourselves this afternoon as we walked around Tiananmen Square and sat eating chicken and peanuts fried with red chilis in a small restaurant with no other foreigners. It is hard to believe we have already made it this far. I think I calculated that we have traveled about 10,000+ km since leaving Japan. We will be here about a week before we leave for Tibet (fingers crossed). I hope to post more stories and maybe upload some pictures while we call Beijing home for 7 days!
