Pingyao here we come!

My boss suggested that I take my parents to Pingyao when they come for Christmas, but the scheduling didn't work out...so instead I am going with Adam and Alison this weekend.  Pingyao is a UNESCO world heritage site in Shanxi Province, and is supposed to be a time-warped image of old China.  There is an ancient city wall, residences, temples, and a 1400-year-old underground castle!  We are doing a hardcore weekend trip: overnight train Friday night, arrive Saturday and sightsee, overnight in hostel, sightsee Sunday until 6 pm when we catch the overnight back to Beijing to be at work on Monday morning.  I will update with pictures and stories when I return!
