We had another awesome day today!! Aside from the fact that Mark lost his iPhone for about 24 hours, and then found it JUST NOW - PRAISE THE LORD - Everything else has been awesome and adventurous! Mark actually crossed the CRAZY street as a pedestrian and made it back ALIVE!! WHOHOO!! That in itself was a huge feat! LOL!! We also did some other worth while things!!
The Great Wall is just the most amazing thing to experience. Not only is it visually majestic...the history behind it is just overwhelming. Our guide, Michael, has done an excellent job at giving us a tremendous amount of history this time. We have learned so much more about the culture and history this time than we did last time!!!
Today we not only did The Great Wall, but we also were able to go to The Jade Factory, The Silk Factory, a real Tea room (and learned SO MUCH about tea and its health for us). We had a wonderful lunch!!! Michael our guide said it was considered a country style/village style cooking. We absolutely loved it!!!
Overall it was just an amazing day. It is very hard to communicate the sights and sounds of all we see and do. Pictures do not do it justice. If any of you get a chance to visit...you MUST!!! Just amazing!!
We are getting our bags packed again tonight before we head off to bed. We leave for Shepards home town!! AHHH!! We are very excited. So two more sleeps until we are able to meet our little Shepard boy!! We look so forward to it!!
Just like last post...it took too long to post too many photos. We have uploaded a few onto FB. Most of them are the sights we saw today. It was just awesome!! Thank you all for continuing to pray for us as we end this "touring" portion of our trip, and we move into the whole purpose of the trip...do bring our precious boy home!!! We will keep you all posted and will try to blog tomorrow night from Chongqing!!
Blessings,
Mark & Buffi
