Careening Through China
It was 15 days of hurry, rush, and being generally overwhelmed with the amount of information thrust upon us. Temples flew by at lightning speed. Only an hour at extraordinary landmarks. Even during the Three Gorges cruise, when it was consistently raining, there were endless lectures on Chinese history, culture, and the future of the country.
