Let's back-up for just a quick moment so we can show you the majesty of the Great Wall.
Long known as a symbol of China, we found climbing up the Great Wall like stepping into history. It was beyond what we anticipated! Spanning a total of 4,500 hundred miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Gobi Desert, it's scale is hard to comprehend. Just climbing the steep ascent, with its uneven steps, was quite a workout, I can't imagine building it across mountainous terrain.
If you ever come for a visit with someone who is the love of your life, plan to bring a study pad lock to leave behind. Couples inscribe the date of their wedding and deposit the locks as a symbol of their eternal love at the entrance to one gate. Can you find ours? : )
All I can say is........"God is so good!" Tears of joy! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThey do the locks in Lithuania and other countries here too. I heard they are going to start cutting them off though because with all the rain they rust and are damaging the bridges. Oh well...it is definitely a fun idea while it lasts :) Have a super time! We are praying for you! Love, A. Bette Sue
