Great Wall

We climbed the Great Wall today!  We went to a different location than we went to last time and it was so worth the extra driving time to get there.  There's no real good way of describing it, but it was breathtaking!  Today was the first day that we actually saw the sun so it made it even better.  We took a cable car part of the way up and then climbed it for a couple hours and afterwards took a toboggan down.  It was the most beautiful sight.  I'd love to post a bunch of pictures for you all to see but it takes forever to upload them here.  When we get home, we'll add some more! 

This is the beginning part, with no steps.  The steps are not uniformed so it makes climbing very difficult.  Elijah wanted to climb so we let him, and surprisingly he did most of it on his own.  When we finished we were all plenty tired!!!
