After a successful game last night, we had to get up fairly early because we had a trip to go to the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. We were all excited to take this trip, the only thing is the the Great Wall is about 2 hours away from the hotel.
During our voyage, we were able to venture and climb the Great Wall. We broke off into sections with the coaches in one group and the players in another group. It was surreal and hundreds of photos were taken while at the Great Wall. Also, we were the first team to perform to famous "Shmoney Dance" on the Great Wall. This is a dance the team does together when we are excited and having fun!
At the end of the Great Wall of China, we had the options to ride the ski lift back down to the bottom of the mountain or take a toboggan; in which most of the team chose the toboggan. That adventure was probably the best part, we all were going so fast and had a lever in which to speed it up or slow it down. At the end, some of us were going to fast that we ended up crashing because of the high speeds.
This day was a great experience because we were able to have team bonding. It is not everyday that we are fortunate enough to come to China and be able to walk the Great Wall. So far I am enjoying this trip and our stay in Beijing, I am looking forward to going to Shanghai in a couple of days.
