Great Wall, Etc.

What a hot and exhausting day! SC weather and a climb on the Great Wall...not a great combination. The view was spectacular! The climb was dizzying (for me) and horrendously difficult for Chris as he carried Tian a large part of the way. The way was crowded with tourists gripping handrails and many were gasping for a breath (including us). Women covered themselves with umbrellas despite the narrow climbs.  We gave it our best effort just to preserve American pride. I did not include many after-shots of Chris. Fortunately, he did not forget his deodorant, unlike many of the travelers!
 
We were treated like movie stars a couple of times as foreigners wanted to take pictures with us. Weird to say the least.
 
More tomorrow!

  1. Sounds like you are all exhausted and HOT! Tian looks great, and I bet the ride by Daddy was great for him to witness the Great Wall!!!
