Matt, I love seeing these pix of you. It's fantastic to get to put more of a face to your "virtual person". Keep 'em coming, you world traveler.

Great Pic, a photo doesn't show how amazing it is does it.  We went 5 years ago, we went to a part of the wall that the tours dont go to so it was pretty scary, I got half way up and froze and couldn't move, there was no way I was going any further the drop below was just way to big!!!   So I made my way back down on my backside!!!! much to the amusement of our Chinese guide....

I am sooo jealous..  I so want to see that.. Is it all that it is cracked up to be....  Did you walk the whole wall????  I would love to do that.... HO Humm back to being a parent.   I am hoping the kids grow up with the travel bug so that I can take them places.. I also hope they can pay for their own tickets.. AHHH Flying is so expencive... It's a good thing I really love my husband or I would not have moved so far from Australia....
