I climbed the Great Wall today, as I lifted my feet to climb each step, I thought about the countless number of people that perished trying to build the wall.

New perspectives
Professor Terese looks a wee bit scared of Mr. Camel! I didn't think of the wall that way at all. We just see an attraction to experience.

The Great wall was really beautiful. I am back at the university, so I have begun to wear a face mask daily, to see it will help.
