The Great Wall
I was surprised by the amount of steps! They are all different sizes, some being a few inches and some being a few feet! Going up wasn't too bad, but coming back down was scary! There were lots of people and some just stop and sit and you have to try to get around them.
We called it quits after reaching the second tower. When we came back down, Doug enjoyed his reward.
After we left the Great Wall, we toured a cloisonné factory and had lunch. On the way back we drove through the Olympic village.
Climbing the Great Wall is supposedly a great accomplishment and the Chinese consider anyone who climbs it a "hero". But I am more proud of the fact that I was able to use a squatty potty. I have been nervous about that! They are absolutely disgusting and I will from now on have a new appreciation for western toilets.
Tomorrow we leave early for our flight to zhengzhou. Only one more full day until we meet our girl!
