I climbed the Great Wall and used a squatty potty! Just when I thought things couldn't get more interesting!!
The Great Wall is absolutely amazing. Unfortunately the smog/fog/haze or whatever you want to call this stuff, followed us from Beijing and almost all of the pictures had that fuzzy kind of look to them.
This wall is sooooo steep! It was funny watching everyone climb up because it was so steep everyone was hunched over!
When we got to the top we had our picture taken and placed on a laminated certificate. What a cool way to remember the trip. I think the thing that amazed me the most was how the mountains looked. I knew there would be mountains but I wasn't prepared for the beauty and how similar they are to the Rocky Mountains.
Josh was also in awe of the wall.... It's truly an amazing site to see!
On our way to the airport guess what we passed? Yep... the Olympic Village and the stadium that is being built for the 2008 Olympics! It's massive and very modern looking. The majority of the site is covered up with massive billboards but we found this hole and got this shot!!

Sounds amazing!
And look at you all perky and pretty on that huge climb. Whohoooo! (By contrast, if I post any pictures of my wimpy butt going up the wall you're probably going to see sweat, scowling, crying, and sitting, heh heh)
