A Pretty Good Wall

You do realize that not many people would travel 2 or 3 hours from Beijing to visit a wall called “The Decent Wall” or “The Largish Wall” right? America didn’t invent marketing, we just perfected it.

I’m leaving Beijing with mixed feelings this morning. It’s been an amazing trip. I’ve been able to see so much and yet, there’s so much more to explore. I’m confident I’ll be back some day.

On Saturday afternoon, we drove quite a ways to visit the Simatai section of the Great Wall of China. As my friend Rich pointed out yesterday, it’s quite odd that they took a sheer face of rock and added 10 feet to it. At least in this section, that’s how it is. The highlight was taking a zipline down from the wall across a pretty large lake. WHEE!
