Next we are off to the Great Wall. Here we were allowed to climb as high as we wanted. The wall was a marvel. We learned that it is also a monument to the many people who died building the wall. The bodies of those passed were berried in the wall. Hal and I climbed a good ways up, took lots of pictures then decided a cold beer was in order so we walked back to the café to wait for the bus with others on the trip who felt the need of beer at that time. The beer here is very good. It is stronger than our American beer and we found out that the Chinese business men must know how to drink and hold their liquor. Many business deals are conducted over drinks and they must be able to keep a clear head.
