WE DID IT. We climbed the Great Wall of China. It was amazing. Most of us made it to the top and became "real men" in Chinese cultures. The view and magnitude of the wall was unfathomable. How something like this was made without modern technology really blows your mind.

The view from the wall was unforgettable. You can see for miles, mountains and other parts of the wall. Some parts of the wall were quite steep and took a lot of energy to climb.

Some of us took the roller coaster cars back down and ended up in a flea market, zoo area where we shopped and had snacks.

We visited the Ming Underground Palace. It is a place where 13 Ming emperors are buried along with some of their belongings. It was intriguing.

Tomorrow we are going to the Forbidden City. History at it's best!
