unbelievable! It's hard to believe that they were all hand painted so many years ago. We had a really nice walking tour of much of the grounds and were able to enjoy a nice (though tiring!) hike up to the very top of the palace. It really is spectacular! After dinner we

same. We then toured the memorial and it was also good to learn more of the history of Guangzhou. A fabulous lunch and then training. We were able to tour some of the sports school and had some very gracious young

exchange with the other athletes, we sadly left them to go back and change at the hotel to head to our banquet. The dinner was fabulous, as was the company at dinner. Tonight packing for Beijing... It really was a good day. Erin,
Carol, and I noticed how all of the kids today came together as a team. It was great to see. Sad to leave, but excited to go on to part 2 of our trip. Jessica brought Andrew (her son) by tonight. That was fun...More tomorrow.” Pictures are POSTED!
4/8/2011 Friday Beijing (7:30 AM Seattle Time - 10:30 PM Beijing) Our Swim/Dive Delegation is in Beijing and staying at The Lake View Hotel. Eva Zhang (our excellent Guangzhou Guide who is traveling with our delegation and is in Beijing)
has filed the following report and sent us our first pictures from Beijing, “Our WCE Delegation has arrived safely in Beijing and are staying at The Lake View Hotel! After couple hours rest, we went to the Summer Palace and we were boating
on the lake to enjoy the beautiful view. After that we got a local food for dinner -----Roast Duck. Everyone just had a great time. Tomorrow we will visit the Tian An Men Square, and the Forbidden City. Patti Matthew (WCE Trip Leader/Coach)
has also sent us an update from Beijing, “Hi, I'm sure you heard we made it to Beijing. Good flight, a bit bumpy, but everyone survived. Easy out of the airport, where we were greeted by Andy (our local Beijing Guide). We had a wonderful lunch and
then a good rest at the hotel, which by the way is amazing! Toured the summer palace and took the boat across the lake. I thought it interesting how some Chinese won't tour here because of the reputation of the Dragon Queen. I personally
thank her for building it, so we are able to enjoy it. A traditional Peking Duck dinner that was enjoyed by all. Tomorrow will be a full day with Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven” Pictures are posted!
4/9/2011 Saturday Beijing (7:30 AM Seattle Time - 10:30 PM Beijing)
We have received an update from Patti Matthew (WCE Trip Leader/Coach), “Today was a long day. We left the hotel at 9:00 AM and didn't return until 9:20 this evening. Everyone was very tired, but all were in good spirits. We visited Tiananmen
Square where there were literally thousands in line to view Mao's body. It was very crowded and continued in the Forbidden City. The enormity of that whole area is mind boggling. We then went for another great lunch and continued on to the
Temple of Heaven. It is hard to comprehend the architecture and building of those structures. Amazing! We then went to the silk factory where we saw how silk started from the very beginning stages and how it takes thousands of silk worms to
make quilts and other silk products. We finished with another fabulous dinner and watching an acrobat show. They give strength and flexibility a new meaning. We are off to the great wall tomorrow, along with the Ming tombs, and then shopping
to continue to support the economy of China.” We have received more pictures and an update from Eva Zhang (our excellent Guangzhou Guide who is traveling with our delegation in Beijing), “The Lake View Hotel has a computer in every room! Our
Students are so excited and can send e-mail and photos. Today was such a full day. We took more than two hours to visit the Tiananmen Square (It is the large plaza near the centre of Beijing, China) and the Forbidden City (the best preserved
imperial palace in China and the largest ancient palatial structure in the world) in the morning. After the lunch, we went to the Temple of Heaven and saw local people play different games in the park. Then we went to the silk factory. We learn
some information about the silk. In the evening we enjoyed a fantastic Acrobatic Performance . Tomorrow we will stand on the Great Wall!!”
4/10/2011 Sunday Beijing (7:30 AM Seattle Time - 10:30 PM Beijing)
We have received an update from Patti Matthew (WCE Trip Leader/Coach), “So we all conquered the great wall. None of us adults may be walking tomorrow, but it was fun. The weather was perfect today, with the temperature about 55 and not a cloud
in the sky at the wall and probably about 65 by the time we got back to the city. When we were done and waiting for the bus, we witnessed the governor of Utah having a talk on their local TV station. Some of our group had pictures taken with him
(a little bonus). We then had lunch at a jade factory, where we learned about the different types of jade and watched some craftsmen work with the jade. We then went to the Ming tombs and ended with a shopping trip to Silk Road. Unfortunately the
traffic was so bad we were only able to shop for about 2 and a half hours. So thanks to our small group, we have continued to lift the economy of China to even greater heights. We are all feeling pretty good, tired, but not in a bad way. We will
visit the Birds Nest and the Water Cube, lunch and then head to the airport for the long trip home. It has been a very good trip with an outstanding group, one I would say of all the trips I have taken over here, the absolute best weather I have
experienced.” And we have received our last update with pictures from Eva (our outstanding China Guide), “It was a fabulous day! It was so great!! We climbed up the Great Wall today!! Most of us stand on the highest part of the Great Wall. There
is a Idiom in China: "He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man." Then we are all the true man and hero. There is a highlight in the Great Wall we met the Governor of Utah. Even we do not know his name, he is so nice. We took a lot
photos with him. After a Chinese Lunch we visited the Ming Tombs Spirit Road with its large animal sculptures. Then we backed to the downtown and visited Silk Street (Commodities mainly sold in Silk Street are shoes, bags and cases, leather, famous
brand, casual wear, fashion clothing). In the evening the delegation enjoyed a fantastic Pizza dinner. Everybody enjoyed the last day in China very much. Tomorrow we will tour the Olympic stadium and take the plane back home in the afternoon.” For
Parents Meeting the Delegation tomorrow: First check (call Hainan Airlines at 1-888-688-8813 or go online at www.hainan.com and check the Flight Status of Hainan Airlines Flight #495) to make sure the flight is on time. We will meet the delegation at
