I wanted to climb onto the top of the watchtower, but the ledge was a little too narrow for that to be safe. I did not come to China to fall off the Great Wall and break my neck.

That wall stretches on forever. I am way impressed by those ancient builders.

This is in a watchtower on the great wall. Yes this is the one that we got to somewhat illegally.

Downtown Beijing hosts a Tex-Mex Grill! It was tasty stuff. I had a chicken taco with sour cream and guacamole (that is an extra special treat), fruit salad, and a Cherry 7-up. A taste of home in the Big Country.

735days, 4hours, 42minutes, and 15 seconds until the 2008 Summer Olympics. I would say that China is a little obsessed with hosting the olympics. This sign is in front of the National museum and across from Tian'An Men.

This is Tian'An Men Square. Not much more to say about that, there weren't any protests going on.

This is a church (catholic I think) in downtown Beijing. I thought it was beautiful and unique considering the area.
