day 4

so this was it. the day to view and traverse the great wall of china.we woke up early as we were picked up by our tour guide.yes, it was one of those rare times that we actually joined a tour group.we did not really trust ourselves to find the way going to the great wall so we figured, what the heck, let's just join a group.

day 1

finally my long waaayy overdue beijing post! mr t and i took this trip back in august 2008 during the olympics! and with the 2012 summer olympics fast approaching, i better get my lazy a** moving to writing down this post.

so why beijing, you might ask.and i may answer, why not, coconut? first, there was the olympics, and second, there was the great wall of china.that would tick off one of our seven wonders of the world list.
