Well today is a bitter sweet day. I get to go to the great wall, but the bad part is that I will be leaving today. This is going to be rough for me when it is time to leave. Mengchen has been awesome and has taken good care of me while in china.
Anyway, we get to the Great Wall and this is at the entry to the park.
Here are the first steps up the wall. The steps are interesting because they are not all the same size so as you are going up the size of your step varies so it would be hard to run up the wall!
This is what we are going to climb up.
And as we go up the wall it beats any stair climber at the gym!
Now I almost got sent home without becoming a HERO!! SO I am so lucky.. And that is not a european shoulder bag.. it is Mengchen's purse! I was carrying it as it was quite a climb.
We make it up to the first stop and I thought I would peek out the window at the first stop on the wall.
We stopped along the way and asked someone to take our picture.
After we got our picture taken the guy wanted a picture with me as well! So here is the picture of my new friend!
Well after getting all tired running up the wall it was time to leave to the airport. We tumble our way back down to get me to the airport. We get there in enough time to get one last meal and a final photo together.
Mengchen took the leaving better than I did. I teared up when I was leaving and while this last picture is dark and blurry, it was the best I could do with tears in my eyes. But we will be together again soon!
Until we meet again Sweetie! Thanks for taking such good care of me while in China!
