Leah and Lauren's trip to Beijing






Leah and I had the opportunity to travel to China with some SAS students. We were on the go from morning until night. Leah attended a local school three mornings. That was exciting! We saw blue sky every day, except the last. We were told not to expect to see the sky due to pollution, but whatever Beijing is doing to clean up the city for the Olympics must be working. The streets were also very clean, except for the spit. Our last day was spent on the Great Wall. We started climbing in light rain, but a few of us persisted on up, and were rewarded by snow fall. Unfortunately, the photos are not clear, but the experience of standing on one of the Seven World Wonders will be clear in our minds and hearts forever.
