China :: The Great Wall

This was Andrew and I’s second time to The Great Wall, but this time to a different spot. Last time we were leading a YWAM team, dating, so it was fun to reminisce about how much has changed and how much adventure our lives still hold. This particular spot along The Wall was really cool because instead of just walking up to it you took a ski lift up…

…and a tobaggon to get back down! Unfortunately Andrew and another guy on our team got stuck behind some VERY slow Chinese men coming down the mountain very cautiously… and Andrew crashed into the guy in front of him when he came around a corner full speed only to find them all at a dead stop!

Climbing the steep way up the wall- the preggy lady was getting a little tired!:)

So thankful to be back in China…

The forbidden part of The Wall that you’re not supposed to go on…
probably the best part because you can see how over time it breaks down without being cared for- trees were even growing on parts of it.
