China Trip - The Great Wall

Sorry about the lag in posting, but the Holiday's have kept us busy. This blog will highlight our favorite pictures from the 11/23 afternoon visit to the Great Wall. It is a must see destination and way more impressive in person, plus you can pick up a bunch of cheap SWAG outside.


The vendors hassle you all the way to and from the Great Wall.


They had a camel that the kids could get their picture taken on. We were lucky to get this photo as normally they will cover the camels head so you can not take a picture without paying!





After the walk up the hill through the vendors we took a cable car to the top of the wall. Some people hiked it, but I'm not sure Anslee was up for that.



Anslee enjoys the view.

Andrew thought he was Godzilla, we told him that was Japanese!


The whole family on the wall.



As I'm sure some of you are aware, the Great Wall is one of just a few visible structures from space. The size is truly amazing!

There is a lot of walking to be done exploring the wall.

Some areas are very steep and you really have to watch your step.




Andrew grabs a souvenir!

Anslee needs a rest.


Here we are inside one of the old guard towers.

Next Day two, 11/24.
