What an incredible day today was. We got up early, not that jet lag could help, and drove first to a jade factory, and then on to a section of the Great Wall.
The beginning of the Great Wall climb
This was the starting point of our Great Wall adventure. You see that little building all the way at the top of the mountain.....well I'm pleased to say the both JD and Robin made it all the way there - and on her birthday too. GO ROBIN!!!!
As for me, no I did not make it all the way there.
About half way - our bus should be down there somewhere?

JD is behind the tree.
Some parts of the wall were flat, most of it was steps - STEEP steps and of different heights.
We got our work out for the day.
Almost the top.
Yep, I see our bus.....AW MAN, you mean I have to climb all the way back down there. The climb down the steps was not as bad as I was fearing.
Tomorrow we take the train to Zhengzhou.
WOW...not many people can say they climbed the Great Wall of China on their birthday. You rock sister. Hope you had a wonderful birthday. Love you bunches! and those guys that are with you.
