Ahhh… Saturday so soon. Just when I thought it could not get any better, we went to the Great wall. During the drive there I actually got to see some small homes. Up to that point I only saw towering twenty story apartment buildings that are all over Beijing and so many more being built. I must admit I knew the walk up would be a great challenge when just walking up the hill to get to the Great Wall had me working. So I opted for the cable car ride up to the Great Wall. It was a splendid view. The Great Wall is an awesome creation. Well I must say our instructor and host did not let me escape climbing the Great Wall before I knew where I was going they had me trekking the Great Wall to a slide that we could ride down the hill. I walked and walked and walked until we finally got there. I was a little upset because I was already exhausted from the packed agenda we experienced all week long. Though, I must say the experience was like a woman giving birth to a child that after the pain the joy came. Riding the slide down the hill from the Great Wall to the bottom was so much fun I would have did it again just to ride the slide down one more time. AWESOME!
From there we went to lunch at JOVI a Japanese hibachi restaurant where Vivien’s brother worked. It was the icing on the cake. The food was too good. We ate and ate. There was nothing that I tried that did not taste good. Great food and Great company. I loved it! We then went shopping for the rest of the night. Pearl Market and Sanlitun shopping areas.
