These are great pictures! (Which reminds me... I should go through my Italy pictures and post some.)

Since you're back, can I interest you in a bookcase?

Hey there! Please do post Italy photos.

How about $30 for your bookcase? I need to check with my car-owning peeps about picking it up. When are you around?

Let's talk about July 12, or the end of July. I think I leave on July 13 (I need to double-check my reservations). I am still recovering from jet lag!

Cool pics

Hi Susan,

Just arrived in Cagli. I will take some tower pics for you! These were great!

Hey Cindy!

Good to hear from you. I'll bet the weather is a lot better in Cagli than it is here (100 degrees)! Say hi to Romano for me, and I look forward to your photos.

"I remembered enough Chinese to be able to take the bus from Dongzhimen station directly to the Great Wall"

Is it difficult to figure out the buses if you don't know any Chinese? Are any signs also in English? (Some are in Korea.)

Just wondering if I should try to book a tour for Mutianyu.

I guess a more general question is - how difficult is it to get by with only knowing Chinese pleasantries like Hello, How much is it, etc?

I see there are buses that leave to Mutianyu from Dongzhimen and also a bus that leaves from Tiannenmen, wondering which one is better to take. How long is the bus to Mutianyu?

Thank you for post the wonderful photos. It sounds like you enjoyable trip. I hope you had nice 4th of July weekend despite the jet lag. Did you start a garden this year?
