Not in Jail or a Monastary
Hello all. Yes I am alive and well. I am writing this from my hotel in Beijing, a twenty minute walk to the Forbidden City. To answer an email, I am not in jail someplace or studying in a monastery! I simply haven't had a chance to get on the Internet in the last five days.
It's been a strange and varied trip so far. I've had a wonderful day with Abdul and Manish in Mumbai, seen the Taj Mahal, rode an elephant, dealt with lots of pressure selling, seen lots of poverty, closed my eyes in the car to deal with the insanity of driving, been laughed at for my foreign ways in Beijing, talked to lots of interesting people.
I have a lot of pictures to share, but I don't think I'll have time to upload them today. They should be here within the next two days. I'm going to have a Peking duck dinner tonight with two people from China who are visiting Beijing on a vacation from school. They are studying English and were very happy to be able to practice their English on me.
I have more notes and things I'd like to share about my trip in time, but it's time to answer the backlog of email.
