Great Wall of China ... and other great experiences

Today we got up to some "sizzling" rain, and for a moment wondered whether our planned outing to the Great Wall of China would take place at all.

I chickened out and avoided eating the "Chinese Breakfast" (including a salad of pigs ears) and went with the more traditional western breakfast.

The Great Wall was beautiful. But more impressive were the imperial jade and cloissone factories.

Stream of consciousness writing here, still not sure this will even post. More elegant prose tomorrow.

If you know me and want me to get you something from China, send me an email message pronto. They have a lot of really neat things.
