Some good, some bad

Well today we went to the great wall of China, and now I know why they call it great, that thing plain and simple whipped my a$$. I have never seen anything like it and I probably never will again unless someone puts steps on the grand canyon. What a sight, I really enjoyed that and we have plenty of video and film I hope. One of my two digital cameras crapped out on me, well not the camera, the xd picture card I think is baked, this is bad news due to the fact that I had about 100 pictures on the card I think, don't know what happened all I know is that it isn't working anymore. Bad thing due to the fact that it was a brand new card. Lucky for us they weren't baby pictures. I just hate the fact that if it happens once it can happen again. I have never had a problem with my camera or the cards, I will be taking it back when I get home if I can find the receipt. We also today went to the Summer house , it was pretty nice, but we were all kind of tired and really didn't want to be there, yes it was nice to see, but I am sure most of us would have rather come back to the hotel and just relaxed. Oh yeah before I forget, in between the great wall and the summer house we stopped at yet another tourist trap resturant/souviner shop and this is really getting old. According to our guide the Chinese people don't ever eat at these places and you know I really don't care if I ever eat at one again. It was completely a show and someone is getting a kick back from this whole thing. The souviner shop was a joke, totally overpriced and we still managed to buy a couple of things. We are getting ready for dinner and we have to get packed out for tomorrow, they will pick our bags up at 9:30pm tonight so I have to go and will write again soon. Todd>>>>
