In China, will blog

Now that I've got the very important email to my husband and parents all settled, I can write a quick post.

Internet access in the Swissotel Beijing is 3RMB/min (~$.37/min), charged to my room, so I need to be quick for now. I'll have more to say later, after our walking tour of Tiananmen Square and the informal buffet dinner with the delegation this evening. And Carol Brey-Casiano, leader of our delegation, has volunteered the services of her laptop, which will be very helpful.

I've taken a few pictures, which will be up on my Flickr account as soon as I find out if I can do that here.

Many, many, many thanks to everyone who donated money to get me here! It's all very exciting, and I'll have plenty to write about, I'm sure.
