This was our 4th trip to the great wall with the branch. I guess that means we've been here a while. This is one trip we look forward to every year. We ride up on buses, spend saturday afternoon hiking the wall, have a big buffet dinner (thankfully hot dog are served in addition to the mystery meats and veggies) with skits and fireworks afterwards. Then Sunday morning we wake to a very chinese breakfast and have a short church service before riding the buses back to Beijing. It's always a good time.
