Great wall trip

We started the day at 5 am and took the train to Beijing. I was close to going Bruce Lee on some of the rude Chinese people who don't yield to a women carrying a baby. They just cut you off and bump into you and almost run you over. So needless to say I wanted to knock out a few Chinamen, but kept my composure because I did not want to goto a Red Chinese prison. Of course we get the ADD Chinese kid sitting next to us who kept Jake awake the whole ride. He kept coming over and dancing and ate like 5 cookies in Jake's face. So Holly yelled at me when I told him to sit down Jackass. Nobody can understand anyway, I must of called 20 people docuhebags to their face today and they have no response. We got to Beijing after a 2 hour train ride and battled thru the Beijing "Zoo' train station. We first went to the Forbiden City. We put Jake in the Stroller right in front of Tianeman Square and he threw a fit screaming and crying in front of all the straight faced Chinese Soldiers. I thought we were done, these soldiers have no sense of humor. Jake settled down and we toured the forbidden city which was really cool because of the history and age. It is not stroller friendly and we had to carry the stroller up and down steps. Oh yeah it was 95 degrees out. Again for those of you who know me my patience was running a little thin with all the rude a-holes. We finished the tour and drove to the Great Wall aout 45 minutes away. We got there and Holly decided that her and Jake would wait on the bottom and let me climb. I had not idea the wall was so steep, I got my workout for the day and climbed t the 3rd tower. It's unreal and runs over 5000 miles in China. We did not stay too long cause Jake was hot and needed to nap. We got back to the hotel where we will stay in Beijing until Tuesday. I want to the 7/11 to get some stuff and thought I was buying Lays chips and then looked again and they were Lays Sea Urchin Flavor, WTF? Who eats this shit? Holly got ruined on he way to the Great Wall an open truck drove past with stacks and stacks of dead pigs! Oh yeah on the way back we got stopped at a checkpoint by the Chinese Army who inspected the documents. They march up to the car and I was like oh shit they translated all the shit I've been talking all week and I'm done, but they let us go after a few minutes. God Bless America!!! Here are some pics of the day.
