Great Wall

The bus picked us up at 7am to go to the great wall. Professor Lang cousins came along if us. It was a neat drive and it was nice to be out in the countryside. We visited the house of the man who made that part of the great wall famous. Sadly he was not there but we meet with his wife. After a little bit of tea, we started up the path to the great wall. There were so many stairs and all were different size and heights. The views were awesome. The wall ran along the ridge top of the mountains. We hiked for most of the day and pass through 28 towers. To get down for the mountain most of us used the zip line. It was fun and I made a video on the way down. We ate at a farms restaurant and had a farms dinner that was great. After dinner back on the bus to Beijing. Back in Beijing some of us decided to go out on the town. We went to a bar district. We all had fun and song some American sing with the Chinese bar band. The district had many little bar on the street so we had a lot to pick from.
