The wall

Freezing cold beautiful china day. To the jade factory before the Great Wall. The skies are blue and Royce and I are up at 5 am and go for a walk in the park across from the hotel after breakfast. So many options including old Beijing tofu brain which is delicious ! Frank is our new guide and he is very informative about the culture. It’s so cold and windy at the wall but amazingly beautiful. We walk the easy path and then the harder one. I walk up the steep path but just high enough to get a photo! Inside for coffee with a view and to lunch at the jade factory. To the hotel for a wander around the shops and restaurants to pick up some wine and snacks and then a delicious meal in the hotel restaurant. A long soak in the tub ends a great day.Read more
