We headed off to the Wall yesterday on a beautiful sunny day. There is shockingly little polution right now - I think we are benefiting from all the prep for the olympics. We put Ling in the carry back pack and Bob trudged up part of the wall. At sometimes it seems the climb is at least a 70 degree angle but he did a lot! The views were spectacular. We followed up all that exercise with a fabulous lunch (our first really good food.) And then a quick trip to see the Water cube where Michael Phelps won 8 gold medals and we saw the bird's nest. We couldn't go into either one but it was kinda cool to see them. Frankly - they paled in comparison to the 3800 mile wall.
Ling: Joke for MPA 2nd Graders: What is purple and 5000 miles long?
Answer: The Grape wall.
Question: What are the 3 functions of the Great Wall? (I will answer when I get back.)
