First day in China

I am completely baffled by blogger and the Internet here, so these are going to be some strange posts.
We arrived to our hotel about 10pm China time on Thursday. They are 12 hrs ahead of EST. the flight went without a hitch, but man, was it long. Very impressed with Korean Air. The flight attendants channeled Audrey Hepburn. They looked fresh and crisp the whole14 hours.
Owen has been a champ. Flew great, slept a total of about 5 hrs on the whole trip, went to bed at MN last night and slept well until about 7am.
Our guide took us to Tiananmen Square, where we walked thru, then on to the Forbidden City. Owen was a celebrity in the Forbidden City. Lots of tourists from more rural parts of China had never seen a blond Caucasian befor, according to our guide. Our guide was asked regularly if we would let them take a picture of Owen posed with their children. Owen was too shy to do it, however.
We go to the Great Wall tomorrow, then on to Jude's province Sunday.
Sorry for the disjointed post, but here are some pics.
There is a pic of men on a roof. The following pic shows the same men with some perspective....tough roofing gig!
