In between huffs and puffs, we were in complete awe of this experience. Climbing the Great Wall is one of the highlights our lives. The view was spectacular!
Claire only has three more nights in her orphanage!

The Great Wall
So what do you do when your stomach is full of two extra heavy Chinese meals, it is the day after you travelled 25 hours, you only slept for four hours and your body thinks it is 1:00AM vs. 1:00 PM? You climb the Great Wall! As tired as we were, it was actually the perfect experience. The weather was in the eighties, it was sunny and clear, and there was a cool breeze.

Brings back such wonderful memories. I'm so envious of the beautiful weather during your climb...much better than the snowy, freezing day we had. Can't wait to see Claire in your arms!!
You guys look like you are having way too much fun :) Everytime I see pictures of the Great Wall, I wish our China trip took a path in that direction :( Praying your body adjusts to the time zone quickly!
Love the pictures.
Mom

This is so exciting... I can not wait to see Claire in your arms!! :)
I'm so glad you had a clear and sunny day on The Wall. It is just breathtaking when you can see for miles.
Waiting (not so patiently) to see you with Claire.
You guys crack me up with your pictures! Glad you had a great first day in China and hope you're getting adjusted to the time change. Great Wall looks AMAZING! Definitely on our bucket list. :-)
Claire Day is almost here... YEA!
What great pictures! We really enjoyed the Great Wall even though it was hazy and hot when we visited. It looks like you are enjoying your time in China! Enjoy every single second! It definitely is the trip of a lifetime!
Just looked at these pics again - looks like even Mark got winded! I'd probably die on the wall :-) Hope you continue to have a wonderful trip - can't wait to see tomorrow's pics!
