I went into downtown Beijing last night with a couple of colleagues, and had dinner and a stroll by the lake -- very pleasant.
The meeting wrapped up, as far as I was concerned, at about noon, and I spent the afternoon wandering around the Temple of Heaven with a colleague. It's under heavy renovation, and the main tower is so freshly spiffed-up that it still smells of new paint, and looked absolutely gorgeous in the late-afternoon light.
Tomorrow I have a plane at noon, and should be home by teatime Tucson time. Whereupon I have enormous quantities of laundry to do, and about 600 photos to tag, but I suspect I'll go to bed and worry about that next weekend.
