Jim and I were both impressed with the Great Wall. On this
sunny day, we made a brave attempt to climb to the top of the section we
visited. We got about half way and the leg muscles were not happy the next day. This is
definitely one of the Great Wonders of the World.
We also visited the Ming Tombs. This is a little like the
Valley of the Kings in Egypt. The Ming Dynasty buried their emperors here for
centuries. The day ended with a visit to a duck restaurant for a chance to
sample Peking duck. We were all trying to figure out if the name had changed to
“Beijing duck”, but no consensus could be reached.
