On our final day in China, we fittingly, went to visit the Great Wall of China. Or the Great Wall of Liberty as Maile called it. (Which is pretty funny when you think of it.) It was a spectacular way to end the trip!

... pausing to smell the flowers 🙂
After walking a bit to the base of the Wall we took a cable car ride to the top (Maile was a little excited) …
The kids at the base of the Wall (after we took the cable car up to the entry point)
Maile getting her first taste of the wall - these holes (used to pour hot oil on the enemies) were just the right height!
Maile and Daddy get another perspective...
Maile and Mommy and a good view of how the Wall snakes along the hillside...

I couldn't resist.
Daddy set a bad example, so Maile followed...
Striking a pose!
The Wall is incredible - 5,000 miles! - that's from Boston to SF and back to Chicago!
10 years ago Christine and I took our first trip to China and took a similar picture at the top of the Great Wall. It was incredible coming back, this time with Maile. I can't imagine a better person to share these adventures with and look forward to our next!
