We just climbed the Great Wall of China

Can you believe it? We just climbed the flippin' Great Wall of China! I astound myself sometimes. It was super steep and it killed our lungs and legs, but it was worth all the pain. I will post pictures as soon as I download them from the camera.

I am so cool today, I can hardly stand myself.

Update: Saturday, Jan. 27th 8:16 p.m. I added a Great Wall album in the Photo Gallery. Go check it out!

I bet you two will travel more often. Having Peter around is making the trip a lot easier, I bet. It snowed here today - about 1/4 inch. We can't believe you walked the "Wall" either. AMAZING!!!

I saw the pic of you two at the end of the Great Wall. How long is it? Can you walk the entire distance?

The Wall is about 4000 miles long, we decided to just walk 1/2 mile of the restored section at Badaling. : ) We reached the end of the restored section on the steep side and had to turn back. btw - it took a Chinese team 7 months to walk the length of the Wall. It is only restored in some places. Two-thirds is a ruin that is not open to visitors.
