We just visited the Great Wall. Well, a teeny tiny little section of it anyway. It is over 3,000 miles long! It's really impressive. Today is very foggy out so our pictures won't do it justice I'm sure. They took a group photo and give it to you in a really nice souvenir book with lots of colorful & beautiful images. It was 100 chinese dollars which we think is about $15 to us. Well worth it for the memories.
This morning we had a nice trip to the Summer Palace. It was very pretty. My favorite was going to the pearl factory. We got Gigi two pearl earrings and one set for me that matched one of her sets. We're going to look so cute! They sacrificed an oyster to show us how they makee pearls and I guessed 27 (of course) pearls and sure enough I was right! Grandma's with us!
We're on our way to dinner soon then back to the hotel to pack & get ready for our big day tomorrow! We have to leave the hotel at 6:30!!! If you are up at 5:00 send us a wake up e-mail or facebook message.
