The Great Wall of China

What can I say: it is great!! Not much I can add so we'll let the pictures speak for themselves.



It is amazing that a wall was needed. The land is very steep and rugged; the Mongols and their ponies must have been tough.





We were fortunate to have clear weather. We were told that most days the smog and haze blocked the views of the mountains. As you can see, we had a beautiful day on the wall.




It was a good workout climbing up and down odd spaced steps and steep ramps but worth every step.
