Dan has already posted 2 pictures of the Wall, for which I am grateful, as there aren't any words. It was not cold up there, I know Mother will be glad to hear. We walked up a long hill, past alot of vendors, then took a chairlift the rest of the way. I looked to see where the lift was made: Japan. We had a couple of hours up there. I just wanted to walk and walk and walk, and Danny humored me. Finally, we were far from the Mandarin crowds! It was spectacular. There was a small village down in the valley on the other side, but nothing else. Yes, this was the high point for me so far. The toboggen ride down the mountain was very fun. Some students liked it so much they bought another ticket up just for the toboggen down, as if this were Six Flags! It was a great day on the Great Wall.
Hi, there! 'Am sitting here at the Patrick home here in PI....where Kathy and I looked at the blog tonight, exclaiming how lonely it is without your physical company....[So, the message you should be getting is this: Your presence IS really missed around these parts!!!] This trip is soooo exciting, and the blog idea is perfect....and such a wonderful way for us to live vicariously, too....Remember, some of us still HAVE to work (: Ha,Ha!
ReplyDeletePS. Both Kathy and I are particularly interested in food/wine details....(such a surprise, huh?!)
