Land of Hard Beds and Chopsticks

Hopefully I can do this post with the internet that we have. We are still figuring out the new things  like using Google Fi for phone service. It works sometimes and then other times What'sApp actually works.
We arrived in Beijing safely. The flight was a bit shorter than I had been led to believe. We needed to wait on our guide, then on our driver because of it. 
Since breakfast was not included with our rooms we set out this morning looking for breakfast. After a couple of false leads we found a local restaurant chain called Mr Lee. We were served steamed buns and dumplings. Then decided to order beef noodle soup and won ton soup since the neigboring table's food looked so tasty.
This first day is an empty day so we can sleep and grouch to our heart's content.We did a quick shopping trip to the WuMart--If you think SharpShopper is crazy on a Friday....
Actually most of us are in a decent mood, the last long flight tested Shekinah's endurance. Hopefully I gave her some tools to be able to handle the longer coming-home flight.
