The Great Wall

We hiked 10km on the Great Wall. 36 of us started at the Jin Shan Ling end and the other 36 in our group started at Simatai. We met half way, in the middle, to eat our bagged Subway sandwiches. Leave it to the American School trip coordinator to get us American size sandwiches in the middle of China! It was steeper than I could have ever imagined. It was windy, hot, and breathtaking. Trees in full blossom painted the hills white and pink. I consider this hike on of the most amazing things I have ever done.
