Climbing and Descending rocks

Uh, so the main things today were the Great Wall and the Ming Dynasty Thirteen Tombs. GW consisted of steep, worn down steps with a huge number of people, so climbing and descending was like getting stuck in traffic. It started raining after we got to the 3rd tower, so we waited the rain out and went back down. It's really unlike the tan, wide, flat GW that I saw in photographs.

The other thing: rather pathetic.

Also went to visit a jade processing plant, a piyou, and saw some...not very good acrobatics show.

(is very tired from th late dinner and the full day of walking)

Oh, Father woke at 3am this morning, woke mother, and tried to hurry me out of bed at 5:30, an hour before morning call and 150 minutes before we meet in the lobby for rest of the group (and they were 20 minutes late)

Argh, I cannot stand the local guide's rubbish and the rest of the group's lack of punctuality. Just. ARGH.
