Day 2-Beijing-The Great Wall

First View of the Great Wall of China from the parking lot.




The boys with some ancient warriors.
Who looks more fierce?

View down the Great Wall from the first tower.

Gardens at the bottom of the Great Wall.

This is our awesome driver in Beijing. They say, if you can drive in Beijing, you can drive anywhere! And he is a pro, he was out of the designated lane more than in. They view traffic signals as "only a suggestion" here. This guy might be where that saying got started.

We stopped in a local park on the way to an acrobat show and watched some men play a game of Chinese Chess. This was really fun to see this park... it gave us some insight into the everyday Chinese life.

Here is Trevor getting "sold" by a sales lady at the Jade Factory!
