How I BECAME a country-wide phenomimon - by Graham

We visited the great wall today. After actually getting on top of it, we began to climb. The thing was, was that the path was slanted at a 70 degree angle. As you might of guessed, that made climbing it that much harder.*streaches arms*Also their was incredibly steep steps. Though thing that bothered us the most was the salespeople. I swear, there must have been at least 50 salespeople atop of the wall. What I enjoyed was when random people came up to us and asked me to have a picture taken with them. I don't mean to brag, but I made 12 bucks having people taking my picture. Hey, what can you say, I am THAT good. We also visited the temple of heaven, which was really cool. Not to mention the jade factory we went to. There were some jade animals bigger then me!!!!!!!! Those ones were usually about 800,000 dollers, and I am not exacterating. By the way, we FINALLY got our luggage back today. After we saw the great wall, we went to a resterant to eat. Truth to be told, it stinked. Oh well.

The pics and blogs are GREAT. So what have you guys been wearing anyway without your luggage? I can't believe you got to ride in a rickshaw, a dragon boat AND walk on the Great WAll! I did go to Lewiston today. By the way, did you get glasses Graham? No wonder they all want to take pictures. You're cuter than ever! So... if you need any ideas...a modest size piece of jade would be a great idea to bring home to all of us :). Love to you all, Kelly
