And it was a blast! I had lots of fun!
But there was so much effort involved... I'm so tired... and I won't be able to move tomorrow (although, I don't think I'll be the only one [for various reasons]).
There's not really much to say, since I spent most of my morning up in the mountains and the rest of the day was spent in my room, lazing around because I wanted to nap but never actually got around to it. So... pictures (in no particular order because I give up on any kind of formatting for this blog):
 |
| They were everywhere. & this could be considered "normal size" |
 |
| Mountains |
 |
| A view from the wall |
 |
| The flags say "Great Wall"... but you can't see it... |
 |
| One of my teachers! Please excuse my awful derp. |
 |
| He poses the same way!?!? |
 |
| The air is so clear & the weather was really nice today! |
 |
| But we're already on the mountain, so... |
 |
| Apparently there was a drama filmed here... |
 |
| As we were getting close... if you can't tell, I really like landscape & sky shots, so be prepared... |
 |
| Crop fields of some sort! |
 |
| Just some flowers |
 |
| I think this was in the touristy area before the Wall |
 |
| On our way there... |
 |
| We were almost to the Wall |
 |
| I guess it's called "Great" for a reason |
 |
| From the stairs looking up at the Wall |
 |
| A bridge with people on it. |
 |
| On our way there |
 |
| A nice abandoned entrance gate |
 |
| A thing I saw. |
 |
| At the touristy place before the Wall |
 |
| On our way, I think? On our way back? |
 |
| While I was resting with my teacher |
 |
| A river/lake thing? |
 |
| The sun was hot, but if you walked up to one of these breaks, there was a strong, cool breeze! So nice~ |
 |
| When we first arrived |
 |
| From the wall? |
 |
| TBH not really sure why I took this picture |
 |
| Farms |
 |
| Like rest stops on the stairs! |
 |
| This was like a fish fence, but I missed most of the fish :( |
 |
| The glare is strong with this one |
 |
| Flowers while we were waiting for everyone to come back down |
 |
| So pretty! |
 |
| Almost to the Wall again, I think |
 |
| To get on the Wall, after the stairs, climb this. |
 |
| I tried to count, but lost track close to 600 just past the halfway point. So we all probably climbed up over 1100 steps, and some of us descended them, too :o This is why I'm so exhausted. |
 |
| A bee! |
 |
| Mountains~ |
 |
| Lanterns~ |
 |
| It just keeps going on forever and ever amen. |
 |
| A very dynamic pose |
