The Great Wall

On Sunday, we went to the Great Wall of China, which was an incredible sight to see in person.  We weren't expecting it to be as steep as it was in many places, nor did we think it would be as narrow as it was at times during the climb.  Sadly, it was very smoggy and the pictures we took didn't capture the Wall's beauty.







After the wall we went to The Beijing Enamel Factory where people were painting beautiful pottery.  On the top floor we were served lunch and given some free time to look around and shop before heading back to the hotel.


In the evening, we met back up with our friend Adam and brought along our new friends Jeremy and Daleena.  He took us to a great dumpling restaurant - which I didn't get any pictures  because Landry wanted to run around the entire time.

  1. Sorry it has been so smoggy! So hard when you have a dream of perfect pictures and the weather doesn't cooperate, but you guys look so happy.
