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!

Hola Richard,
Loved the pictures and the commentary! Rain! We have not seen much of that here. In fact, it bothers me that restaurants bring a glass of water without asking. So wasteful! Okay, off my soapbox. We are all enjoying your summer and look forward to seeing you later this month. In the meantime, keep those pictures and great stories coming.
Hugs,

Well, four of my comments reached the blog (Had to see it myself, after you told me)! I am really not so ditsy! No comment necessary! How is the weather over there - more rain? It is a bit toasty here, but I am loving to work in my garden. Also, I heard that there was a bus accident that hurt a few people. Did you hear about it?
Take good care.
Love,
Auntie Virginia Gail
