There were massive construction, re-construction, renovation, cleaning going on in each corner of the city all gearing up for the event. To me, it was just a look-see-look-see kind of trip but Sam was so excited at the thought of visiting the "Gu Gong" and all the ancient historical sites that he actually woke up BEFORE 0630HRS EVERYDAY!! Poor me, kenna dug out of bed to visit those old and dusty places ...
Of course we missed Sofia so very much and were counting down to the days we would see her again. This photo was taken at one of the baby changing rooms in a shopping mall in Beijing, had wished so much Sofia was there to take a photo with me!
