Beijing!

After 72 hours in bed (I like to say it was SARS but Jeff and Chinese TV ads remind me that SARS has been eradicated, so I guess it was just a nasty cold), I am back! We overnight trained it to Beijing, and today we vistited Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and some of the Olympic venues (which were indeed very cool). There's a nice layer of smog hanging over the city, which makes for dim photos, but here's a shot from the Square, note Mao's portrait in the center.
