Yup today’s big event was the Great Wall. Always impressive
to look at, not always easy to climb. Although, I must admit, it was much nicer
this time than last. Last time I made the mistake of deciding to run the stairs
of our 26 story hotel three times the day before. It was 100,000 degrees
outside last time while today it was cool with a great breeze. And last time
there was Kara. She fell asleep in my arms just as we started climbing, and I
had to climb with a sweaty pile of dead weight. Amazingly, I didn’t have a ton
of pictures taken of me like I did last time. Gabriel seemed to really enjoy
the wall. Why would I think that? The fact that he was near vibrating as we got
there and then took off like a mountain goat risking the wrath of the father as
he disappeared from sight, those might be clues.

Also, went to a couple of tourist trap/history type places.
They were interesting for learning about things like the making of things out
of jade and a certain type of pots and other items made out of copper. We went
to another Chinese restaurant for lunch and Pizza Hut for dinner. Pretty good
pizza and at least some of us really like the Chinese food.
Not too much else to say about today, but here is a picture
of my favorite translation for the day:
