Beijing Nov 23

Hi All!

Gorgeous weather here in Beijing: blue skies and cold, but very nice! Saw the main sites in the city yesterday…. but please remind me to not visit a city anymore that is gearing up for the Olympics as some of the best parts of those sites are closed off to the public for renovations (Temple of Heaven (Unesco WH) and Summer Palace (Unesco WH)  – only the grounds and some ‘lesser’ structures are accessible)… oh well.

Off to see the Wall today.

Believe it or not, I can’ get to my own website here in China… it just seems to be blocked… no explanation… but no access… so hopefully those blogs make it alright!
