Maya joined us late for last night's dinner -- a modest 15 course, this time. She sat down next to me. She asked if I was looking forward to the Peking Duck, which had yet to arrive. I told her that I suppose I was. It takes more than that to drag me into a conversation.
Yesterday was the old part of Beijing where we took pedicabs through narrow alleys. Then Tiannenmen Square, followed by the Forbidden City. The dinner was at a place with a big yellow duck outside, fronting a lake.
Gotta go get breakfast. Today is the Great Wall, Ming Tombs, and a kung fu show. This is a holiday, the Dragon Boat festival, so we may have to wait hours for the Great Wall. I've seen it, but figure I should go see it again.
later, cranefly
P.S. In the Forbiddn City a couple guys kept getting pics taken with smitten Chinese women. Me, I had a notable encounter with a four-year-old boy.
