Today we took a bus for about 2 hours to the bottom of The Great Wall. Then we proceeded to walk up 1500 steps to get to the wall. I thought I was going to die.... Ok maybe not die but I did get close to loosing my breakfast at one point. That was the longest set of stairs I have ever done in my life. However, it was worth it. The view was spectacular and it was great to see the wall in real life. During the trek up I was thinking of my friend Barb the whole time. She would have loved climbing these steps. Especially once she got to the top. Another fun part was a sled ride back down to the bottom. I really enjoyed that. I'm not big on the ski-lift chairs and that was my other option to get down the mountain. I have some video of the sled ride but I didn't post it yet. Maybe I'll put it on youtube later. Tomorrow we will be having a business trip. Sounds like we will be going to a trade show. I'm very excited about that. I'm hoping we will be able to walk around on our own a little there so I can do some interviewing. Tonight I think I'll be taking it very easy. I might just go to Pizza Hut for supper and then hang out in the market for a bit before making it an early night. BTW, Pizza Hut is a little more upscale in China than in the states, that's why I'm going to check it out. More later. Stay tuned.

You go to Pizza Hut in Beijing?!!! Going to a small noodle restaurant is better than that.
