The Great Wall

Our University (China Foreign Affairs University) took us on an outing to The Wall  at Mutianyu (one of our favorite sections) last Saturday.  It was a beautiful day and the sky was the bluest we have seen it since we have been here.  Also, there were actually some autumn colors to enjoy.

I really liked the looks of this local sweeper in the guard tower up on the top.

But, maybe he put this one out of work?

 It was a great excursion (sponsored by our waiban) for the foreign faculty. When we returned, we were treated to a meal with lots of dumplings at a restaurant near our campus.
