ABC Wednesday: G for great things in China


Our guide, Arnold, calls the group together to climb the Great Wall of China.
Dick joined the climb, but I didn't go.


 We went through the Three Gorges Dam at night, but it was still very exciting.

 Dick gauges the water level as marked on the inside of the massive dam.

    Wow, that's a lot of people trudging up the Great Wall. I don't know if I could have made it either.
    It looks like you had a fascinating trip.

    Oh boy, that's a crowd on the big wall... Wonderful! Where haven't you been?

    Kay I emailed you, just wondering if you had received the email?

    That looks like a very long climb, if you ask me. You were wise to not go. :))

    How exciting! We've got China in our headlights for next year. Gosh! Those look like a LOT of steps and I HATE steps! Fabulous photos, Kay and Dick!

    So picturesque to see colorful umbrellas being carried up the Great Wall. It certainly has our 1001 Steps beat for a walking challenge!!

    I would love to visit and see the Great Wall. I have bad knees, so climbing the stairs may take some time. What a wonderful trip you must have had!

    It would be neat to walk the Great Wall, or, rather, part of it, and, for some reason, I think the locks on the river would be more exciting at night!

    Nice shots, Kay!

    I'm not so sure I could make that climb up the wall. Was the view worth it, according to your hubby?

    This wall is an enormous piece of work. This is a lot more impressive than the Hadrian wall. China is a country I should like to see.
    I hope you'll have a great rest of the week, Kay!
    Next week this time I shall be on my way to the airport to catch my plane to Israel.
