No Time for Touring


I am off to China but no time for touring. Just a whirlwind visit of three cities in four days and a blur of business meetings. Wish me luck! The picture is from the Great Wall of China (in the new section). I've been told it's been made a little more "tourist friendly" since I last went. Since it had just snowed (the last time I was there and when this picture was taken), I had the wall more or less to myself. It was very quiet and very cold. I can't imagine how cold and lonely it must have been for the ancient Chinese that had to guard the wall.
