The Great Wall has always been on a list of mine to go see, experience, and love. Well, that dream came true on October 2nd, 2008. I hiked the Great Wall, which was not an easy task. I literally stood on top of a mountain and looked out over the city below. No wonder they built it to keep the Huns away. Let me first say, it wasn't what I expected it to be. I thought it would be wider with walls like a castle. Instead it was like a little path way that scaled the mountain face and was at least 10 feet tall maybe taller. I guess all the Chinese people were going for was the height. Their such tiny little things they don't need the width like us Americans. Sad but true. I had a dream and I got to see, experience, and love every minute of it.
I had to pause for a minute and take in everything I was seeing, experiencing, and loving. It was without a doubt the coolest thing ever!
It was super hot that day so I was sweating pretty good. Don't laugh too hard!
On the way back down all the girls and I decided we wanted to take the Zip-line. Don't worry all they do is wrap you up tight and let you go! Talk about adventure at it's finest!!
The wall was also very very steep at places. Almost completely vertical actually.
When we were off the Zip-line there was a cute little boat that was waiting for us to take us back to the Parking Lot. This picture was on the boat.

What fun! Pretty inspiring isn't it?
If for nothing else. I want to go to China for that Zip line. That looks pretty freaky.
