The Great Wall/Stairs of China

This was one thing we could check off our bucket list.  It was raining but stopped right as we got there. We spent ages stuck in a gigantic traffic jam.









These steps are so steep, uneven, and all sorts of different heights. 


We went to the 2nd tower, and Froggy and Little Panda were the only ones who weren't exhausted.


We bought some little art prints made by this cute little old man who uses the side of his hand and finger to make paintings.

On the way back to the hotel we drove by the Water Cube from the Beijing Olympics.  It is right there behind those trees, I promise.


This is the Bird's Nest, but I guess you will have to take my word for it.
