Great Wall
The Great Wall was about 1.5 hours from our hotel. Seems like there is more traffic on Sat as our guide said everyone with a car goes out of the city for the day. The Great Wall is unbelievable. It took us about 1 hour and 15 minutes to hike up the wall and 30 minutes to walk down. It was a hard hike. The funny part is there were women in high heel shoes trying to go up and then every 10 minutes several people were stopping to smoke. Gotta love China! We also stopped at a Jade factory and went to a Chinese Tea ceremony. Then to a Chinese Acrobatic show. This trip has been non stop so far. Tonight we went to a market and it is crazy how they try to get you to come into there booth. "Hey American Lady I got deal for you". It is now about 8pm and we are exhausted! Tomorrow we leave at 8am for our flight to Guangzhou. So far it has been a great trip and only to get better in 2 more days! Hope everyone at home is doing well!

I am praying for you daily! Can't wait to see pictures of you with that sweet girl Piper! See you soon,---your best neighbor ever.
Smoking and high heels like another country we have both visited before :)

Scott and Deb, It's so exciting to follow your journey and see what you are experiencing in China. I am praying that all goes smoothly and we can't wait to meet your little punkin' when you return. God bless,

We are so happy for you both. We think about you guys daily. Spoke with Sharron and she is fine and so is Cooper. He had his buddies over so life is good for him. Can't wait for you to hold your precious bundle of joy.

Wow, the Great Wall looks so amazing-I sure would like to walk that and watch the pounds melt away! Oh Deb, just seeing you and Scott experience this journey is what I have always known for the 2 of you- you are both such strong, intelligent people with so much heart to give- safe travels and I can hardly wait to see your first pics of Piper- I will stay tuned. Much Love, Ang
Following your journey as you open your hearts for another child is unbelievable. We are so excited for you both. Piper has no idea how lucky she is to have you two as parents. Give your little China doll a huge hug and kiss from us.
