The Best Tour there is!
Coming around the bend after the first tower
After a Short break and a nice story from William about the walls defenses we got to moving along the wall.
Taking a break with a story, some cookies and water
Dan just chillin' out!
Exploring the towers George and Elyse Style
The wild wall untouched by Mojo's feet
The Ox Horn, what a freekin hike!
Another wild photo of the wild untouched Ming wall
Far off in the distance, you could barely see the outline of the wall on what looked to be the tallest peak around!
We are going somewhere around there, HA
Goons, some of us still waking up from the 3 hours of sleep we had the night before
Getting to see and walk along the wild part of the wall was the biggest surprise of the whole trip. I thought that we would get to a large parking lot with droves of Chinese and international tourists taking photos to a small piece of the wall where small children would be squatting with their parents. I was even surprised at how much trash there wasn't on the path and surrounding areas, even though it was a path less travelled. The towers were windy thanks to max, and i am pretty sure that some of heard the after shock of the 9.2 earthquake coming from Japan, although it could have just been max again.
I am jealous that i will not be able to go on the great wall trip next year to china, i would have loved to spend a whole week walking the wall and getting to know its history and the background of certain areas that were walked on. I will also miss those delicious dumplings that William and the women cooked for us wen we were gone.
The Wildest Wall Adventure One can have!

Justin and Max,
ReplyDeleteNi Hao!
Your decision to focus on the GREAT WALL OF CHINA for your final multimedia MOJO project was a good one.
Very good work here - I like the way you both tell the story of "Wild Will," and your interfacing with the Wall itself.
Xie Xie, and Hen Hao!
