The Great Wall & Summer Palace- August 27, 2013

So the internet in my hotel hasn't been working and that's why I haven't emailed in a while. I just barely had time today to come to this restaurant with wifi and we're in a hurry to eat and get back for more orientation so I won't write too much. This is the only place I've found so far with good internet! 

The Great Wall was so cool! They said it was the best day they've ever had for going to the Great Wall because it was blue skies and not totally unbearably hot. I didn't even know you could do this, but we took a ski lift thing up to the wall (the view was amazing), and then we took like an Alpine slide thing back down. So fun! I got some really good pictures. The Summer Palace was super pretty and very garden-y and HUGE. Lots of walking. It was rainy yesterday and a little this morning and I loved it. I'm finally getting used to sleeping on the hard beds, it doesn't really bother me too much anymore. I will try to come back here later maybe and attach more pictures and write back to dad and read the other emails, but I'm in a little rush right now.
