Just checking in..

Folks,

This pic is from the Temple of Heaven, on our first day in Beijing.

We've been so active and busy.

Since our last big update, we've been to Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka. Then we flew from Osaka to Beijing.

Our Viking guide, Michael, met us at the airport, and took us by private car to our hotel, as we were the only guests arriving in Saturday.

After checking in, we took a taxi to the Temple of Heaven.

That's all for now. We're on the bus to the Xi'an Airport, for our flight to Chongqing. We'll finally slow down the pace, and be able to post updates for our final days in Japan, and our visit to Beijing and Xi'an.

Stay tuned...
