The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall







Here are a few pictures from the Great Wall. It just didn't feel real as I never thought I would ever set a foot on the Great Wall much less ever go to China. It was almost like watching a movie at times and then you stop and realize this is really happening. During our tour a Chinese man asked if he could take a picture of Sydney with his 11 year old daughter. (We also made a picture as you can see below.) A number of Chinese people stopped and also took a picture of Sydney with this little girl. We caused quite a comotion on the great wall. The wall in the end failed as Mickey Mouse and Disney have invaded Beijing.


Sydney summed it up the best she said "it is great and it is a wall".


More tomorrow, we are going to bed at 8:14am your time, which is 9:14 pm in Beijing.

PS: Above is a statue of Mulan.
Just Kidding!
