5/17/12 The Great Wall

| No Comments

Today was one of the most amazing days I have ever had! We went to the Great Wall of China which is truly beyond words. I could not believe how big it is, our tour guide told us that it is about 4000 miles long which is incredible. We took a ski lift up to the wall which was kind of scary because in some places we were very high up. Then we were on the the wall and I was so happy that I was able to walk on it. It was very steep in some areas and I think it was one of the best workouts I have ever had; there were times when I think I was going to make it but I kept going and it was well worth the hike. Then we took a toboggan down the mountain which topped off the whole experience. Finally, we went and saw a factory where they make a variety of trinkets and it was really amazing how detailed everything was, I was truly amazed! Today was one of the best days of my life and I can't wait to see more of China!
