Great Wall of China
Yesterday (Thursday, August 30, 2007), Carolyn and I hired a driver and guide to take us on the road trip to a portion of The Great Wall of China, and we hiked along the wall. This was, I think, the hardest physical exercise I've ever done. It was boiling hot, the sun was beating down from a clear blue sky, and the staircases on the wall are often very, very steep with very high steps -- plus, they're in very bad repair in many places, making climbing precarious. Still, it was an amazing experience. At intervals along the way, there are watch towers, and I was grateful for the brief respites of shade they afforded.

Hi,
I thought I'd post a comment and let you know I'm still viewing your blog - not that I like China too much for several probably obvious reasons.

Hi, Jessica. THANK YOU!
Catholig, I'm glad you're still viewing my blog. China is a wonderful country, with some of the nicest, friendliest, kindest, most helpful people I have ever met.
Yeah,
I'm sure there are - there are nice friendly people everyone, and I'm certainly not saying that China doesn't have them. :D
Have you learned any Chinese, Yet?
