Great Wall and others

Some Videos and photos from Bridget's Visit; the first 2 weeks of June

The top of the Great Wall just out side of Beijing. this is a 3 hour plane ride from where we live

To the top we go, This picture does not show how steep this is. All sorts of souveniers

Our driver had to help push to the gondola that takes us up.

Agin this does not represent how steep it is. This is from the base of the Gandola

On the way up

Our first view of the wall

It is starting to look incredible

We get off of the Gandola and the climb get very steep

Get the F out of our way

1st break spot

Not sure which is more amazing, OK Bridget is more amaing but the great wall is a close 2nd

From the base of the wall, At 1st this was a close as Colleen was going to get but after we went to the top we had to get Colleen up to the top.

To cool

This is a thak you to the German Co for restoreing this part of the wall. You could see other parts that were over grown.

You can see it off in the distance, on the 1st ridge

Just to cool

Bridget as the Empirise

We were a little limited as to how far we could go.But I could have spent the whole day here walking

We really did make it

The way back down

Cssey was a great guide

Not sure of the drivers name but he and Colleen had something going on.

We stopped to eat on the way down I had to catch my own Rainbow trout

People were always inquizetive about the lady in the wheel chair

We stopped at a place where they but porcelin paint of copper kettles and everything else

Bridget was always interested in the food.
