While in China we couldn’t miss out on the chance to visit the Great Wall of China. Mr Lei our guide took us to a less touristy area that allowed us to walk the wall at our own pace and to enjoy it without a ton of other tourists. This section of the wall is supposedly intact and hasn’t been redone. Either way we really enjoyed it and the weather was absolutely perfect. There really isn’t anything I could write here that you couldn’t find on the internet. So enjoy the pictures.

| Yay! The Great Wall of China! Now Caitlin is acting like it isn’t an everyday thing. |
