We finally made the trek up to see Beijing. Keith, a college friend, is here in Shanghai for a stretch and helped inspire a visit to the Great Wall. It is every bit as remarkable and awe-inspiring as we hoped and we were thrilled to get a semi-clear day without too many other people in our area. It got a bit hot and sunny, which affected our picture taking, but it was still very enjoyable.
How we got down from the wall
Kara was thrilled
Beijing was a wild ride full of new sites, busy sidewalks, and different food, although we left a lot unexplored. The Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven were impressive sites, but getting there was a bit more nerve-wracking with traffic. The girls did a pretty incredible job given all the walking and the train delays on the ride home. It was an unforgettable trip, but we were happy to make it back to Shanghai.
