safe in china

Hi folks

Betsy and I had a good day yetserday with her family friend Wan-Wei. He took us to Beijing's summer palace, which is a lovely palace on a 2.9 square km lake. We went out for dinner, and ate frog. yummm. he also took us to see his university, "Beijing University" which is the higest ranked one in China. There, we went to a symphony in the evening, where, combining the jet lag and relaxing music, Betsy and I had several brief naps. I guess in China performers don't usually do encores - at the end of the show, after the applause stopped and people were leaving, the performers came back out on stage. We all took our seats again, and they played an encore.

I hope you are all well,

Eric
