Farewell to Beijing
Hey this is Jean, also password-less and using Francine's account to blog.
We're leaving Beijing tonight on the overnight train to Henan province, where we will be for the next seven days, staying at Luoyang, Dengfeng, Zhengzhou, and Kaufeng. Highlights include Shaolin temple, Yellow River Park, Longmen Grottoes and much more. Details to come (after we actually visit those places). After 7 days, we'll be on the overnight train to Jishou. We might be internet-less for the next few days, depending on the hotels we're staying at, but will try to post as often as possible.
So far the tour has been fantastic, but I'm looking forward to reaching Jishou, settling down and getting down to work (and finally doing laundry as well). Until then, it's good times in Henan province with the Dream Team!
Gotta run, dinner then catching our train for Henan!
More later,
Jean

It is great to read such detailed and vivid descriptions of your experiences in China this summer. It brings the program to life for us States-bound PIA die-hards. I’ll never forget my first travels in China in 1982 (and many of those after), and your pieces bring those memories back to life!
Thank you for writing and please keep the entries coming!
