It was positively summery here today at 3C, up from a high of -7 yesterday when we flew in... actually it was about -12 when we got in at 6pm. Just about died.... Aaron was the only one in the Beijing airport in shorts... he was cold, but he certainly turned heads...
We went to Tian'men Sq today as it's just on the next block, but Zoe's new shoes [read: don't buy cheap in Thailand!] were giving her blisters... so we then decided to bump the Forbidden City to the end of the week and go shoe shopping... can't have everything! The Sq is huge by the way, but so was the shoe shop... it is China after all... ha
Tomorrow we're going somewhere else famous, I can't remember where exactly... feel like I'm dropping the ball a bit... may be the temp... temp... tt tt tt emp.
We are really looking forward to being home. We are excited at seeing the Great Wall on Wed, and our friend Joy, who we are seeing for Christmas Day. We might not get our snow, but we certainly are getting a COLD Christmas.
Remember, there are still a few shopping days for our welcome home presents... ha
[that was a joke by the way] [you know, the bit about not knowing where we're going tomorrow...]

It's early Christmas morning here in Adelaide - a fine hot day of 32 degrees is forecast in contrast to the the Beijing weather you're experiencing.
We will certainly miss your family this morning, as one of our precious friends who regularly meet over breakfast on Christmas morning.
Please pass on our love to Joy if you read this before seeing her today - I notice Beijing is 3 hours behind Adelaide. It will certainly be great for you to be with another like-minded friend today!
What a great adventure you have had - can't wait to catch up and chat with all of you when you return!
Love from Ian, Keryn and the kids
