Day 2
We stayed out near the Great Wall at a place called the Commune at the Great Wall. It was in the mountains and all these houses/units spread throughout the beautiful trees. You have your own private access to parts of the Great Wall that are unrestored and not crowded with tourists. Unfortunately we had rain all day and so we all just hung out, rented out the theatre room, I got a massage, Ava played in the kid's room with Lila, and we had a fantastic Chinese food dinner. Even though it threw off our agenda a little we still had a great time just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful nature.
Walking from our house to the main lodge for breakfast.
How many Chinamen does it take to put a mattress on top of a van?
We were laughing so hard.....
And this was the final product.....
Love it!
It was a little chilly up in the mountains...
Made me feel like I was at home in Utah.
This wasn't our place but an example of the cool houses that were up here. The architecture was very modern and minimalist.
We had to take the hotel van to and from while it was raining.
When the sun finally came out I rounded the corner and this is what I saw....
Finally the Great Wall of China!
And then breakfast... which was just as good as the Great Wall.
Day 2 didn't get many pics because of the weather...... But it's late and I don't think I could do any more blogging so stay tuned....

and, the place you stayed, the buildings are adorable! fun times!!! dusty & i stayed near the wall too, also in a place that had little or no tourists, in fact, we were like the only people there, but it did NOT compare to your accomodations!!! hehe... plus, we were broke at the time. ;)
