Off to Pingyao...
Hi all,

I know I owe you a little commentary on my Great Wall excursion (though the fantastic pics speak for themselves for the most part). I will have to get to that when I get back from my little weekend excursion to Pingyao, a well-preserved Ming city in Shanxi province. I am getting on my overnight train in a few hours and (hopefully) I'll be back on Monday in time for work! (You can't buy return tickets in China, so I have to pray that I can get a sleeper back on Sunday night! Otherwise, I'll either have sit hard seat for 8 hours (YUCK!) or shell out the money for a plane ticket)

Had wanted to go to Qingdao, but everyone in China is going there for the beach ... PLUS it's supposed to rain all weekend, so I decided to do something different. Guess Qingdao will have to wait for my next visit!

Later!
