Great Wall

We had an amazing day at the Great Wall!  What an impressive structure!  Did you know the Great Wall is over 5,000 total miles? Lots and lots of steps.  At one point, Levi asked, "Mommy, where's the escalator?"  Son, that's what I was wondering.  ;)

To get to the wall, we took a terrifying cable car ride to the top of the mountain...I had a death grip on Levi in case he decided to start wiggling.  Once at the top, we explored the wall and the many watch towers.  Then, a fun sled ride all the way down the mountain!

Tonight at dinner, we learned to make Chinese dumplings and practiced our chopstick skills.  Tomorrow, we head to the Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square, and the Chinese acrobat show.
