Today we visited the Great Wall of China, which
was spectacular and absolutely amazing.
It was one of the best workouts ever and the fact that we made it as far
as we did, to the no climb zone, was truly a once in a lifetime experience. After walking all that time we luged
down the Great Wall. I can't even
give justice to the Great Wall by taking about it nor can any photograph. We then proceeded to the public market
where we bartered with the shop owners.
It was pretty fun and impressive how the whole process actually
works. The women do such a great
job of trying to get the highest price but usually do not succeed with the
American people. It was
interesting to me because the first item I bought was a silk dress and the
woman originally started out at 840 and then I ended up paying 30 for it! It was a great experience overall and I
am very excited to do it again at all the cities we will be visiting. Tonight we are going to the disco, more
information to come on this experience tomorrow!
