Beijing Day two.

Horary it is great wall day. Well we got up early and loaded on the bus for our two hour drive there. When we arrived we decided to take the chair lift up and then go on the toboggan down. We road up and it was so hazy. I was really upset because there must have been a 50 foot visibility level. We went and walked around. As we walked I found it really hard to believe that this was made before any sort of machinery. How did they do it and was it really possible. We walked along and it seemed to go on forever. When we were walking along we ran into a family from Colorado which was pretty cool. It really makes you think about how small the world really is. As we were ready for our toboggan ride down we headed over only to find that it was closed do to the weather. Well we just went down and we did some shopping. One of my purchases included a shirt that says I climbed the Great Wall of China for one dollar. Needless to say it was worth the trip. After this we went to the temple of heaven. It was really cool and one could really appreciate the architecture here. After this I and some of the girls headed for our American dinner. Then we went out to bar street to celebrate one of our friend's birthdays.
