What is a trip to China without a visit to the Great Wall? I couldn't disappoint myself by not going. So I did. This thing was huge. It goes on for something like 3,000 miles and is one of the only man made objects that can be seen from outer space. That is vast. But what people tend not to think about is how this wall was so well thought out that it was built over mountains and very large hills to keep the ancient Mongolians out. That means that it was no level walk in the park. No, it was up and down, up and down, up and down. Stairs. They were everywhere. Some stairs were restored so they were easy to walk on and some were rocky and crumbly so one wrong move and you would be the worlds largest slinky. But man it was beautiful. You know how sometimes you can look at a landscape and almost believe that it is a painting and not reality? That is how I felt sitting on the edge of one of man's greatest feats. God can be so creative it hurts. Anyway…it was awesome. Thought you should know.
