I'm feeling all kinds of tired.  Beijing is fun, exhausting and really close to the desert.  It's dirty and chaotic; people seem distrustful of foreigners, can be kind; the embassy workers I met are jaded/arrogant/nice.  But happy that my friends haven't changed.

Brought back two bottles of the sour cherry ale that we made last July.  Just have to wait for a good occasion to drink one in a few weeks.  Tasted really good when we bottled it.  Also brought back a bottle of Gueze that is ready to drink.

Going to Hong Kong next weekend.

Clear skies over Beijing before I left due to a thunderstorm last night that we watched from the garage.

Skies over Incheon

Alighting the airport bus in my neck of the woods.  Happy to be home.
