On the road to the Great Wall
View from the bottom
A better view with the lift to the left.
An open air market at the base with all kinds of stuff for sale!
Chris thinks he is a rock star! (Craig knows he is!)
Sometimes translations are rather amusing. We wondered about the stinking materials mentioned in #3.
This was a part of the toboggan ride down the mountain. Too bad it rained, it looked like a blast!
Yes - that is where we were climbing.
Gary and Chris on the way up.
Michelle taking a picture of me taking a picture of her!
This shows the steepness very well. And the stairs are slippery because of the humidity.
A view of the smoggy/foggy mountains around the wall.
A view of a village on the other side
Looking out over another part of the wall from about 2/3's up our climb. Pics like these do not do the steps justice! They are steep and there are lots of them!
On our way down a part of the wall.
Claire on one of the lower towers. (this pic is zoomed in)
This is really where Claire was!
Soon joined by Michelle, Craig, and Chris
Another pretty view
More steps!
Chris and JR with a Kodak moment!
Thoughtful Craig? What in the world is he thinking about?
Yeah - he could not keep that disguise up for long!
On the way down, Chris and JR.
Chris and JR again
