Today our guide, Tingting, took us to the Great Wall of China. It was quite cold in Beijing about 35 F and colder on the wall since it is located in the mountains.
After the Great Wall, Tingting took us for a traditional Chinese lunch at a friendship store where we also saw jade and other handicrafts. After lunch, we asked Tingting to take us to Olympic Park, where the 2008 Summer Olympic games were held. The last time we were in China in 2005, the Olympic Park was well under construction, so it was really cool to see the finished product. What an amazing park!

I'd sure like to make that trip someday.
