Great Wall, Great Friends

Yesterday, my class, along with four or five other bus loads of students in the "B" level of the intensive Chinese college study program went to the Great Wall at Mu Tian Yu. The weather was beautiful and the scenery breathtaking, as the trees are changing colors. As you can see, I had a lot of fun, and we even had a little picnic on the wall with our teacher and a few students from our class. It was a great chance to practice Chinese with each other in a "real life" situation, rather than just in the classroom. Saturday, I will leave early in the morning to catch a train to Tianjin. I'll be there through the weekend, and I hope to post some reflections on the trip, along with some pictures!
