Well - time for my first post. I have been thinking that this will be a good way to share my adventures, thoughts, and feelings as I move to Beijing with the family. Seems this is a good way to go.
I have been here for a week and have two more to go this trip. So far, it has been a whirlwind of jet lag, work, and sorting out life. I am living in a hotel for the next two weeks so am really stuck in transition. It is a nice hotel, but will be a relief to be into the house in August. But for now - the Crowne Plaza. I'll be back to the states for a few weeks in the end of July and then we all move over in early august.
Yesterday, I went to the city to walk around and just get out of the hotel - it was a nice afternoon. Had a great meal, found the music street in Beijing (25 or so stores full of guitars, cellos, violins, and other instruments), and got lost in the hutongs (old alley towns in the middle of Beijing). By the end of the day, I was happy but exhausted. It was fun and an adventure but until my Chinese gets better, normal things like walking around the city will take more energy than usual. It will be nice to share things with Kimberly and Lucas - company certainly makes these things into adventures.
Today is a rest day - reading, working on a new song, and dinner with a friend. Tomorrow - back to the week!
