Made it to Beijing

We are all safe in Beijing. After rounding up our baggage, we met with
Bret, our interpreter and liaison. Bret had acquired a van for us. With
gear and personnel loaded into the van and one taxi, we went to Hui Yuan
Apartments, not far from the Olympic Stadium. After getting settled into
our accommodations, it was time for dinner at our favorite Beef Noodle
restaurant. Then with full stomachs it was time to get some rest to
recover from the lack of sleep most of us experienced on the flight.
Tomorrow: sightseeing and shopping!
