Whare Am I?

Beijing, China

I am lost! I am hot. I am sunburn. I am thirsty. I am sweating like a water fountain. No one speaks my language! As a man, I refused for a time to ask for directions. It didn't matter. NO ONE SPEAKS English! Frustrating but a good learning moment. I'm having some tea and am cooling down and then I will walk into the next hotel or bank where I know they have someone that speaks EEnglish. You are all sleeping so hopefully I will be back by the time you wake up! I'm exaggerating a little of course as I am prone to do but I AM lost, I AM hot, and I AM enjoying it completely. This city of 16-19 million people is fascinating.
I'll post tonight my visit to Tian'amen Square, The Forbidden City, and The White Pagoda within Beihai Lake. Pretty cool!
More Later!

O.k., now I'm all caught up on the pics and comments. I love the picture of you at the Great Wall...posted it on your fb page. That should be your profile picture! Please let me know the time difference again...
