9/11 Jinan to Great Wall


Today we traveled north toward Beijing from Jinan. We ended the day in a little town at the base of the great wall. Ying organized a bus to take us there so we could camp on the wall. First we had dinner at a farmers house where the food was by far my favorite cuisine. They made steamed dumplings and fresh vegetables. It was so nice to have a non-greasy meal for a change. We hiked up to the watchtower after dinner and layed out our sleeping bags. After a game of cards and some words were exchanged, we went to bed with anticipation about the sunrise.
