Hey,Today's post is a day of pics at the wall. Carolyn did some research before we came - and we took a risk - we arranged some of our tours ourselves - not going through Holt/Lotus - and also decided to arrange some of them when we got here. This one she arranged on the internet - another agency. Our guide, Jenny, turned out to be the best yet - she had an excellent command of English - could even do subtle humor - she was fun, funny, adorable. We had a great time.
We went to the 'ruined' or 'ancient' Badaling section of the wall (for low traffic)- not much restoration here - so the wall is in most places pretty much as was in 1300 with weathering of course.
Some of these areas are have a lot of traffic - like going to a theme park - with cable cars up and tobaggan rides down - we saw maybe 20-25 other people today. This was just as we had hoped - great weather, great guide, great time.

This is the wall across the valley from where we climbed - you cannot go up there.

Dancing girls, you are amazing! So the toe shoes traveled to China, huh? Cool!
You ladies have really raised the bar on the poses I'll have to strike in my travel pictures from now on. I usually just stand and smile at the camera but now it looks like I'll have to work on my leaps.
What fun and amazing pictures of a fun and amazing trip! You'll cherish them and the memories they carry for years to come.
Enjoy every moment!
Looks like a great time and a great view!! Not to mention the food. Glad you are making memories and having such a wonderful time as a family. God bless you as you prepare to get your little sweetie!
