Fortunately for me, last week I was too busy to plan any weekend trips, so I got "stuck" with the prearranged activities. Boy was I lucky. I won't bore you with the record-breaking snowfall in Beijing and other parts that had people stranded beyond their deadlines for getting back. First, we had a home visit with a simply delightful family--one of my student's--on Saturday evening after touring her university campus. Then, I rode a bike around the City Wall of Xi'an in that thick, dry, gray air. Those at home will have a hard time conceiving of this inescapable smog "thingy" (as Mia would say). I will wear my mask, which one of my super students gave to me, when I am out like that again. I also got to see the (Beijing) Peking Opera. The wonderful weekend was checkered with lots of Skype chats with my family. I will now attempt to drop in some photos. I do not have much time, so if it doesn't work, I will try again tomorrow. Good night.

Out and About
Just checking-in with Girl On Foot. Looks like girl-on-foot has upgraded to girl on wheels. What an exciting place to be! You look good on the great wall. Ernie says "hello", he's going outside to prepare for our own snow fall expected late tonight and probably during our a.m. commute to work in the morning. p.s. It's a girl....our first grandchild to be!
