The Great Wall


The Great Wall of China is old, extremely long, and unfortunately on that day was so cold that it snowed! Unlike most tourists, we decided to visit Mutianyu, the northern section of the Great Wall not because it was build in the mid 6th century but because of its scenic landscape, cable car ride to the top, and toboggan ride down.


The climb along the wall was steep at times and I'm surprised I didn't go into labor. What a story that would have made!

Drew being in top physical condition literally ran up well over a thousand steep uneven stairs to take a photo of the view from the top and ran back down in less than a 1/2 an hour.


Here's a photo of the longest toboggan ride I've ever been on. That was so much fun!
