The Great Wall

There's really nothing to say about the Great Wall except that it was awesome.  We had beautiful weather for our outing and opted to hire our own private guide who was wonderful.  Finley had a blast walking/running/exploring and we all had a lot of fun seeing the amazing views and such an amazing sight.  I'm so happy we were able to share such a cool experience with Finley and Nolan - it was a very memorable day and worthwhile trip.

Our first view of the Wall, while riding up in the gondola.

Our view - one direction

Starting out our 1.5 hour walk from Tower 14 to Tower 6 (at Mutianyu)

We probably took more family pictures that day than we've ever taken.

A little hazy thanks to Mainland China's notorious pollution, but a pretty clear day compared to what we could have been stuck with.

 Another view while on our walk.



Heading back down - Dave took Finley down the mountain on a tobaggon while Nolan, our guide and I took the chairlift down.
