The president of China is visiting Seattle this week (today is his last day), which got me reminiscing about our trip to China’s capital city, Beijing, EXACTLY seven years ago this week. We spent three weeks in Beijing before taking an unforgettable 9-day tour of Tibet.
Here are a few highlights of things I got to see and do on that trip:
Eat some crazy food, like chicken feet, stinky tofu and yak lung.
And drink a lot of tea, one time with an honest-to-goodness lama.
Visit places that were once forbidden for commoners.
And abide by signs that forbid smoking now.
Look out to a never ending view from the Great Wall.
And peer out the window, barely able to see the view through the smog.
Check out sweet new rides.
And traditional old rides too.
Stand before the Himalayan Mountains at 17,000 feet.
Sit beneath the shadow of Mt. Everest.

Take the road less traveled, Beth
Dear Beth….My goodness I miss you. Sorry that I have not gotten back to you sooner. I didn’t know that you went to China. What fun. I do hope that you go to Bali again. And, yes I will go if you do. I have moved to Maryland and will send you my new address. I have been looking for a job and attempting to allow my life some freedom from all negative individuals. Or should I say individual. I have found a Buddhist mediation group not too far from where I live. I will write ore later.
Love you and miss you
