The Great Wall
Upon arrival at the Great Wall there was much hustle and bustle- lots of people! It didn't really hit me that I was at the Great Wall until we were taking the gondola up and away from the street sounds. As you go to the top you can hear the sounds of the Cicada's which was loud but calming. The wall is amazing, massive and to me masculine, yet the tranquility and peacefulness that I felt from it was more than I could ever describe. While walking the wall I could almost feel the history that took place, it made me miss my husband for I knew he would love and appreciate the craftsmanship and would also be able to capture the historical feeling as well.
For the ride down we chose one my children would enjoy! We took a toboggan ride down (alpine slide). It was a lot of fun and a great way to end the day!

Hello all, Thanks for keeping us up to date on your travels! Please tell Ron we thought of him this morning at the dim sum brunch where we ran into his brother Rich and his date Candace from Southern California. It was a scene straight out of Meet the Fockers! Rich looks good, tan thin and happy, and we will see him tonight for your Mom's birthday after he takes Candace to the airport. Please continue to keep us posted, and we would love to see more pictures! Take care.
