great great wall

We went to the Great Wall today. There isn't really much to say about it in writing because the experience is pretty visual/physical, but I can tell you that I was amazing to see that piece of history. I can also tell you that it rained the entire time we were there, which was fun. 

I am incredibly exhausted, both in mind and body. We climbed about 1800 stairs today for around three hours, and that's a low estimate. I had a mild asthma attack and had to sit down for a while and got separated from the group for about half an hour, but I found them and all was well. After we got to the end of the tourist section, we walked on to a part that said "do not walk" (Yomi doesn't read English well, at least that was his excuse), and beyond that to a part of the Wall that had not been reconstructed. It was really cool.

I wish I could post pictures, but right now I'm going to read some more of Tina Fey's Bossypants (really good) and nurse my sore legs, back, arms, and ankles.
