We then proceeded to the Great Wall. This was another amazing site. Kevin decided that we would climb the steeper, but shorter route. We climbed to the first tower and got some great pictures. The steps were 2+ feet high and uneven. It was a tough climb, but going down was worse with weak legs. Although for us the Great Wall was the true site to get pictures, this was not the case for the other tourists. We (Americans) were the site. Everyone in our group had people constantly coming up to them to get their picture made with us. The children in our group had it the worse and if you had blond hair they would not leave you alone. It was so funny. We all now know what it feels like to be a celebrity.
After the Great Wall, we went to a huge restaurant for another family style Chinese lunch. I enjoyed this meal. They had chicken tenders! Hooray! The restaurant also had a souvenir shop which we got a few more gifts.
Then we took a short stop at the 2008 Olympic Park. I did not think about getting to see this. We did not have long here, but got some great pictures.
Lastly, we saw an acrobatic show. It was good, but not Cirque Du Soleil.
Tomorrow is a travel day. We have to meet at 7 am to leave for the airport.
