Greetings from China

Today Rose and I climbed to the top of a very high hill--walking the Great Wall outside Beijing. Awesome and profound. I have never imagined myself being there, much less walking on the wall. It's very beautiful, one of those "see forever" vistas. 1075 steps up, then back down.

Yesterday we visited the Forbidden City, Tianamen Square, and the Summer Palace in Beijing. Tomorrow we are up early and take a plane to Xi'an where we will see the Terra Cotta Warriors, have a "Dumpling Dinner" and go to some kind of cultural show. A long day.

There are a couple of other knitters in our small group of 25. That doesn't include Mom (she's working on Lacy Cabled Scoop) , Rose, and me. We spend some time on the bus going from one place to another, so the knitting is perfect to pass the time.
