The Great Wall

Yesterday, we got to go to the Great Wall of China. It was about an hour away from our hotel. They said it was a 30-45 min hike up to to the wall and after following my roommate from Colorado, we made it in 15 min and covered in sweat. The wall was really amazing. Magnificent I think is the best word to describe it. It's not very wide, but it is long and high off the ground. I tried posted on picture of me with the wall in the background, but it wasn't working. It was pretty foggy so we couldn't see too much at a time and it ended up raining on us, but thats ok.

I'll try to post more pictures up tomorrow and tell you a little more about the wall and the trip back. Right now, I'm finishing up my first lesson plan. We're micro-teaching this morning. So we've written our own lesson plan and are to teach 20 minutes of it infront of the other teachers. (It's our student teaching experience.) So if you want to remember me, and well all of us are pretty nervous about it as you head to bed, we'll be up and teaching. Thanks for your love and support.
