Great Wall (What a Wall)

We started our day with breakfast. The breakfast is not bad. Then we were off to start our long day to Forbidden City, Tienamenn Square, and then to the Great Wall. A lot of walking and thank God that it was overcast. Still humid is saying that mildly. It was crazy at the wall the famous picture, ( I will post later) is so steep. Norman had to get the perfect shot so I just waited. No way was I going up there to kill myself before we get Olivia. I know I know once in a life time chance. but that was just too steep. He finally came down. Alot of people in our group went even a lot further. People coming here in the next couple of weeks be prepared for hot humid weather. We have a family that is with us from Miami, FL and they can't stand the humidity, so that tells you something. So now it is 2:30 in the AM and we are getting ready to take our flight to Nanning. Yes up early again. So hopefully today is a easy kind of day to get our room prepared for the big arrival tomorrow. We should receive Olivia 2:30 China time which will be 1:30 AM Wisconsin time.

Yes, please post pictures if you get the chance. The way our adoption is timing, we may have to skip Beijing, and the Great Wall, and the virtual Great Wall tour may be all we get. But, of course, the whole reason for the trip is not far off now.
Wow. Your certainly a long way from April and the bar in Chicago!
