My cute cousin lives in Beijing and took us
to the BEST place, Mutianyu, to see
the Great Wall.
She was our tour guide, translator and
souvenir price negotiator.
She was GOOD!
THE GREAT WALL . . .
DEFINED.
We climbed to the tram house
and boarded a cable car.
AND THERE IT WAS --
like a serpent making it's way over the
BEAUTIFUL mountains of China!!!
A picture paints a thousand words.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
When we were about half way
through our journey on the Great Wall
we stopped to buy some postcards.
After our purchase the man offered to let
Ammon take a ride on his donkey.
How can you pass up an opportunity like that?!!
After you have hiked the Great Wall
how do you get down?
Ride a toboggan - OF COURSE!
After coming off the Wall ...
we enjoyed some GREAT souvenir shopping.
Ammon learned to bargin in Mandarin.
His favorite line "Duoshao qian?"
Translation: "How much is it?"
And he said it with PERFECT
Mandarin pronunciation.
So good - it made the locals laugh with delight.
The finale at The Great Wall -
LUNCH
We played it safe.
