Sorry we didn't blog yesterday, we had a longer day than usual and we were all pretty exhausted. It started with an early morning trek out to the Great Wall. It was absolutely gorgeous but I'm not sure that anyone was quite ready for the challenge. The temperature was in the 90s and some parts of the wall were almost 90 degrees - perpendicular to the ground. It was tough but oh so worth the effort. After that we went back to the hotel where we cleaned up and rested for a while. Us girls including Kelley Leidenthal decided to dress up because we felt like feeling pretty. For dinner we went to a Korean restaurant which was crazy delicious. You get a plate of thinly sliced raw meet and you grill it yourself at your table. When it's done you dip it in some sort of seasoned soy sauce type thing. After dinner, we went to a Flying Acrobat show which was very entertaining. It was a bunch of Chinese people in crazy costumes doing all sorts of tricks. There was a guy who balanced on a plank which was on a cylindrical object and put bowls on the end of the plank and flipped them onto his head. There were also a few girls who bent their bodies in ways it should never be bent and guys jumping through hoops and girls on bikes and all sorts of craziness. As exhausting as the day was it was a ton of fun and an experience that will last a life time. We have been fortunate that we have gone this long and not had any incidents and appreciate you keeping us in your thoughts.
