Today we visited the Great Wall of China near Beijing. I climbed up to the 3rd Fortress Tower and nearly passed out from the heat. John sensibly stayed below.
After the visit to the Great Wall, we tour the Hutong Area, an area built/inhabited by conquering Mongols, in a pedi-cab.
This building fascinated John and I as it is totally incased in glass. The heat generation must be amazing.
A visit to the zoo allowed us to see the pandas in action, yes, action.. um action?
