The Great Wall

John and I "climed the Great Wall" no "b's" allowed. Seriously, we must have seen the word "climb" a hundred times throughout China and every time it was spelled "clime."

The Great Wall is wall-to-wall people up until the fourth tower where they all mysteriously turn around and head back. There were no signs prohibiting continuing along so we kept walking for a little way. We apparently could have continued on for some distance and it's a very pleasant place to walk after you get past the crowds.
