My trip to The Great Wall Simitai































Long story short, we went to Beijing to go and climb the great wall. Matt and I ended up having to take a private car as there were no buses running there because of the season. It wasnt too expensive just more than I wanted to pay but well worth it. We got there and it took us an hour and a half to climb the wall and another hour to climb back down. Once we got almost to the bottom there is a place where you can zip line the rest of the way down and so we did. It was AWESOME! I should have taken a video but didn't, oh well. One interesting thing is I met a guy from Muscatine Iowa while climbing the wall (small world). I took a picture of him doing a handstand on the wall so he could flip it to make it look like he was holding the wall up. He is going to be sending me the picture in the future. Otherwise here are the pics of my Great Wall experience.
