today.....The Great Wall of China. indeed, it is great. and steep. we trekked to the farthest point they allow tourists to walk. it was invigorating to say the very least. it was raining so unfortunately the photos are not all they could be.....but the memory will vividly live in my mind forever.





this "no visitors" sign marks the end of the line....it is the point at which you can walk no further on the Great Wall at this portion of the wall. Chairman Mao would be proud.
