What a glorious day! If I ever write a book about amazing stairways of the world, The great Wall will be in the top three. By some miracle, the sky was blue and the breeze was blowing and we spent the morning walking up an incredible piece of history. We were all drenched in sweat after the climb, but our wonderful guide had a surprise for us. A mile long tobagon ride down the mountain. We had worked up a good appetite so lunch was delicious: BBQ trout, chicken and chestnuts, ribs and dried green beans, fried green beans and classic fried rice. After lunch we visited the Olympic park and the bird's nest. I have imprinted in my mind walking down the walkway with a Chinese boy band belting out love ballads and strings of kite's blowing in the breeze.
We ended the day with an amazing Chinese acrobat show. I couldn't watch some of the acts which were breaking all kinds of safety rules. The boys loved the motorcycles in the cage--8 at one time. Terrifying. As with the previous night, the exhaustion and jet leg hit at dinner and we were all too tired to chew our delicious noodles or eat our spinach and peanuts. We collapsed into bed and slept like the dead.
