Over the last week, the temperature has dropped and the leaves have begun to turn bright reds and yellows. It is a treat to see the fall colors. This weekend, we took a class trip to a rural area north of Beijing. Here are some photos of the countryside and with me picking Fuji apples at a U-pick-it farm (these farms are all around Beijing and you can pick just about any fruit that grows around here).
My mom and I also took a tour down the canal that runs from downtown Beijing to the Summer Palace. We visited several temples and the Purple Bamboo Park. Here are some pictures of persimmons and ginko that are just getting ripe.
The weather is cold and getting colder. Last night, it was about 1 degree C. I've invested in a new coat and heavy pajamas. Buildings are not allowed to be heated until November 1 (regardless of the weather), so we're bundling up at night to keep warm... oh, being the thin blooded person that I am, I also have two space heaters.
