Most of our delegation enjoyed the Great Wall this afternoon.  After a bus ride of approximately an hour we arrived and began our ascent of the wall.  As I climbed the uneven steps I couldn't help asking myself, "Can you imagine building this thing?"  Just as you'd think, the Wall extends as far as you can see.  And steep!  It was all we could do to walk a short distance.  It seemed we were walking straight up.  None of us could do it in one continuous trip.  All of us were panting!  We joked that we could call it the NUL team building event only because, luckily, everyone came back unhurt.
