We Were Told You Have to Have Peking Duck in Beijing...

What they forgot to tell us was that one duck is enough food for about one person.  Of course, if you like to eat all the fat, and the head of the duck there might have been enough food, but we sat there waiting, and waiting for the rest of the meat...  Nope that's was it.  It was delicious though!

We Climbed Up and Down the Great Wall

Ok, so we actually took a lift up and then took the toboggan down, but still, we walked on the Great Wall.  And let me tell you that was no easy feat.  With the slopes, stairs and intense heat we couldn't imagine how soldiers wearing heavy armor made it up here.  
We all agreed that the toboggan was by far the best way to come down a mountain.  It was like a bobsled, where you can control your own speed, but with no ice.  Way too fun!
