Musical Seattle

I checked out the Sound Garden yesterday in Seattle, the inspiration for the well-known band.
And check out these facebook pictures someone snagged from Dubya's nephew.
I will get some pictures up from the trip out here soon...This weekend I'm off to conquer Desolation Peak in the Cascades, made famous in Kerouac's writings

Sweet home Chicago

I'm "hitting the wall" on China. I think I'm mentally already back in the U.S., but back physically on Wednesday! I'll keep posting some photos that I've skipped and I'll also keep things updated from Seattle, which could be considered even farther east.

Shanghai nights 

Curtiss' boys at the Great Wall 

Peking Duck anyone?
