Great Wall (of fog!)

Trying to play a little catch-up now that we are settled in Wuhan and trying to kill another hour before going to pick up Megan! We went to the Great Wall on Saturday morning while still in Beijing. It is about an hours drive outside the city to get to it. The most popular site is the Badaling wall, which is much more crowded and "touristy". We decided to go to the Mutianyu section of the wall, which is more countryside and less people. Unfortunately, the day was extremely foggy and the visibility was quite limited, as you will see from the pictures. It was still quite incredible to be standing on the Great Wall together! On the way back we drive through the olympic village, but it was again quite foggy so photos don't do anything much justice. You 's be better off looking at it on-line!!
