We had another beer and BBQ extravaganza last night at a street cafe
where we ended up being the floor show. More of those special animal parts-well,
it's an acquired taste. Haha.
Hung over yet with smiles on our tired faces, we headed north where we
will explore
the awe inspiring Great Wall of China at Jinshanling.
It was a full day drive with a couple of unexpected detours and 100+ heat.
Six weeks
ago we saw the western terminus of the wall. Tomorrow we will visit the
northern parts, an area most western tourists don't see when coming to
China.
It took 600kms to get here and we are now only a couple of hours north of
Beijing. Our time together will soon be over. It has been an amazing 14 weeks
and for me there is more to come.
Last night at dinner the lads let us know that they had decided to release
Tao from his contract-too many mistakes and misinformation; too much lost time.
He's also just so darn hard to understand. He took the news hard and was more
quiet than usual today. Being let go from a job in China is a bit different than
back home.
As I have mentioned in the past, it's too bad because he's a nice guy-just
not cut out for this type of assignment. He will be with us until Beijing and
will then be returning to his home in southern China.
