The Great Wall



The Great Wall is truly awe-inspiring. I'd read about it, seen documentaries, but nothing could do justice to being up there and seeing the never-ending expanse of it, extending out for miles in all directions.

Our guide gave us the choice of the easier way up (more crowded), or the harder way up (better views), and of course the boys chose the harder way up. It was worth the effort, although Jon and I couldn't go as far as the boys wanted to go (I think Noah wanted to go all 4100 miles). The Wall is a combination of uneven steps and ramps leading up and down from towers. Very hard on my poor feet, but amazing to see.
