Great Wall

We rode for two hours outside the city to the Great Wall. One of our teachers Cindy was born in Shanghi and left 11 years ago to marry her husband. She is a teacher at Crystal Hill in NLR. Today was her birthday. Cathrine had gotten her a cake and she was so excited. This has been a great trip for her to travel all over her native country. She has been a major help to us, with our communication problems. The Great Wall is 400o miles long and a wonder of the world. We rode a cable car up the mountain. It is like the pyramid when you wonder how in the world they built this. It was built during the Ming Dynasty. Very hot, but I had my pink umbrella. We got back to town and went to the Olympic villiage. Still two years later thousands of people there looking around. We saw the Water Cube, home of Micheal Phelps 8 medals and the Birds Nest. Very cool to see them up close. The plazas were soooo very big. Chinese are amazing architects. Cool buildings every where you turn. Ok, I'm going out for you Drew. Andrew the guy that eats weird food, went to the street we are going to. They went last night and got scropions, and saw all kinds of crazy food to eat. Sheep testicals, a penis of something. Its the second buisiest street in Asia. The first i was on in Shanghi, a life time ago it feels. I dont' know if I will try the food or not. See ya soon
