The Great Wall of Beijing




So, the great wall really is as amazing as everyone has said. I totally get that 7 wonders of the world thing...
We were lucky because today was a Monday and there were few crowds at Mutianyu part of the wall. To add to the excitement, we had a choice of a gondola up or a ski tow up. We took the ski tow up, enjoyed a sunny lunch and much walking on the wall. (Can you see that atypical blue sky over Beijing??) Magic! Finally, we took toboggans down, making a great day even better. I kept saying to myself, "I can't believe I am here, I can't believe I am here....." as Vic asked me,"Did you ever think you would be here?"
