The Great Wall of China


Can you believe this??? I'm on my way up to The Great Wall of China at Mutianyu! Did you know that The Great Wall of China is the only man made thing the astronauts can see in outer space and is the longest thing ever made by man!!

I'm riding with my friend Michelle, whom I have known since I was about 3. She worked with my Auntie Laura at Peking University. Look how high I am!


What a picture! Can you see the forts where the soldiers lived on the wall. The wall was built to protect the Emperor.



I'm actually trying to look out at the view!




I hope this picture gives you an idea of the actual amount of stairs I walked up!


I brought this book that teachers from my school had made for me. In the book there are pictures of me with my friend Connor and my principal Mr. Killeen. HAHAHA, now I can say I brought them to The Great Wall of China! HAHAHA!


A group photo! From L-R is Michelle, ME, my Grampy and my Auntie Laura, taking a rest while at The Great Wall of China!

Oh, Man, Chad did we really climb all of those stairs? Next time we should take the elevator. I had the best fun with you. See you when you get home with Auntie Laura. Love Grampy
