Travel stories and photos and the occasional life lesson

Chris, Karen, Meagan, Craig, and I rode bikes through Beijing for nearly three hours before arriving at the Strawberry music festival in Tong Zho. (sp) To say that its way out there is an understatement. The experience was exciting, fun, and stress free. For the return trip we packed all five bikes into a minivan and sent them back into town with Chris while the other four of us cabbed it back. The vehicle ride back into town was nearly thirty minutes. There are two options to view the video evidence of the adventure. Click here for the mobile me version or view below for the photo bucket one.

We did listen to music for a few hours before heading back home. I am still having trouble finding a place to have regular internet service. I do need that do work on several of my projects. I also need to get my own bicycle.

Friday I visited with Thomas at the Apple store Genius bar. It was such a foreign (Austin, Texas) experience.  The place is identical to every other Apple store.

More photos of my apartment from the outside. Sharon and Elizabeth are two of my new friends from my hiking group. Tracy – Lucy’s friend, is the real connector. She and Elizabeth are buds.

Today, Sunday, I am going to the Beijing Strawberry music festival with Chris, and a bunch of new friends. Our bike ride through the city may last an hour as it is way over ten miles. Tomorrow for the May day holiday I’ll be cooking with friends at somebody’s apartment. My dish will be gumbo! I slept in til almost 6am this morning.
