Our actual first day of experiencing China! We started out the day with breakfast at the Hotel, and I tried to eat as much as possible to then spend less money on food for lunch. We were told to wear confortable shoes as we were climbing the Great wall of China!!!! I was so excited, however none of us realized how cold it was. I was so cold for about an hour but my body finally got used to it enough to suck it up. Also the thousands of stairs to get to the Great Wall helped to warm up. I may or may not have bought a hat for about 30 dollars, but hey, we live and we learn. Anyways we finally made it to the Great Wall and it was everything I expected and more. It was magestic and one feels insignificant on it. I really enjoyed the wall and I wish I can return at some point in my life. When it was time to leave the Great wall and head back down, it was awesome. We rode like sleds down a huge slide and we controlled the speed and I throughly enjoyed that. After the wall we ate lunch and it was delicious. We then went to the olympic village and saw the birds nest and the cube. Then we head back to the hotel and the day was pretty much over. I realized there is a lot more to China than meets eye.
