Great Wall of China February 2011

Here we go again.  The third time is the charm, or so they say.  This time, I did not tackle the same stairs.  I decided to go to the opposite side of the wall.  I found it to be strenuous, but  easier to deal will.  Plus, I got to walk on straight stretches of the wall.  I also discovered, that the section was only a portion.  It was just a big circle.  The stairs seemed a little steeper on this stretch and I had the same fears of falling. 

Angie and Kayla stayed at the base while I went exploring.  They were drinking hot chocolate, due to the cold.  It warmed up as I walked up and down the stairs.
