This morning we woke up at 630 and got ready to go to the great wall. we got some more street food. I'm tellin ya! we are getting more and more adventurous. 

This might sound funny but we found a really good convenient store! when a bottle of coke was 3 yuen aka 45 cents. I would be so fat if it was that cheap in us. 

The bus picked us up and we headed to the great wall. He had one stop before going up the great wall. I Decided that I should go to the restroom before I went to the great wall. I walked in there and walked out. dude those squatty potties are rough and there was no TP.

We got back on the bus and headed up to the wall. I had been to the wall before but this time we went to a remote part of the wall. it was nice and we got to ride a chairlift up. we bought our tickets and headed up. we were one of the first people on the wall. It was also the steepest part of the wall. 

We walked around and hardly anyone was there! it was perfect! just able to enjoy the wall with little to no people. we had 3 hours to chill on the wall which was actually plenty of time, by the time we were done we got to ride a GONDAL down aka alpine slide in Utah! wahoo!!

We rode down the hill Jed and I stopped quiet a few times and then would go FLYING down the hill it was great. we had lunch and went some people from Bali and Sweden. it was good to talk to them except they were all making fun of my chopstick skills. they still need work.

We rode home and our bus driver dropped us off a little bit farther away from our hostel. but it actually worked out really good. we found 2 different temples that we want to go see tomorrow and there are tons of shops to look around it!

we walked back to our hotel and started planning. I almost have the blog ready to go. and Jed has Vietnam all planned out. I freaked love that man! 

We worked on that for about 4 hours. but it was much needed. He also booked a cooking class for us! so that should be way fun

We went to dinner at the dumpling place and we really enjoyed it. its funny to be married to Jed for 5 years and I think I know him really well but we are always learning stuff about each other and how we were raised. 

Also, we had to shower in our bathroom and let's just say I never want to do that again! it was nasty. 

Till tomorrow guys
