The Great Wall of China

On our final day in Beijing we went to the Great Wall of China. First of all, this adventure is a dream come true. I never ever thought I would see the Great Wall! It was completely incredible. We drove to an area a little farther away from Beijing to avoid the millions of people who take a pilgrimage to the Great Wall each year. Our destination still included vendors trying to make a buck selling souvenirs. Somehow we got by without buying anything!

Although Bob took hundreds of pictures, the weather was again very hazy/foggy/polluted (pick one). It is hard from the pictures to actually see what we saw. It was fabulous.
