Beijing | China {part 2}

Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before. 
—Dalai Lama

I told friends I would do a CARTWHEEL on The Great Wall. Two attempts, E for excellent effort! (photo by Rachel Myers)



The Wall said, “Don’t just be good, be GREAT.”
The Great Wall of China. Boys on a roof. Don’t ask. 


Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. — Dalai Lama 


The Great Wall of China



The end of a very long journey. The Great Wall was a long, difficult climb/walk/hike — hated/loved every moment.
