  • Up and Down the Wall

    Although we could have walked up to the wall, I’m glad we didn’t. It was a pretty long walk, and even once you’re on the wall it’s a lot of walking and at times on very steep angles. So, we took a cable car up on one side, walked a couple of hours to the other side and took a toboggan ride down. Both of which I recorded on video. 

    Going up.

  • Great Wall, Great Time

    Today was an all day event to get to and from the Great Wall. It is about 50 miles outside the city, but it was a 2 hour cab ride each way (in part because our cab driver kept getting lost) and we spent about 3 hours walking the Great Wall, taking photos and having lunch.
