These are the days of My Life - Beijing, Mainland China

to

Just a Jeep rocket launcher parked in a strip mall.  Look for a model at a dealer near you soon!?!?! 

After a long bus ride we arrive at the gate to Jansaling entrance to he Great Wall of China.

Just like the Buddha, the Great Wall is a ways up the mountain so the option was to walk up about an hour or the now very common cable car option was available yuan $65 = US$10.00.  Guess what option I took??

First sighting of the Great Wall of China...awesome!

There is a short hike to get from the cable car to the Great Wall but today the view is spectacular.

And there she is....stretching as far as the eye can see...The Great Wall of China.

Breathtaking, Jansaling, the Great Wall

And on and on and on....

There were about 15 towers that I made to get to the end of the wall that is still open to tourist being ale to climb.

Me on the Wall...a bucket list item checked off. 

Yep, I made it to the very end see the last one in the haze, there are 3-4 more that you can't see.  2 hours of constant hiking out and 2 hours back.

This was the simple part...stay tuned for the hard parts where the great in Great Wall is a little over hyped.

A few towers down and a quite a few towers to go to reach the end Sametai. 

Just a few more towers and then return.

Alot of stairs, a whole lot of stairs and these were the easy ones....stay tuned.

Just thrilled to be here!

View from the tower window, more later, stay tuned.
