taking tiger mountain by strategy

Here are some pictures from Jess and I's visit to the Tiger Mountain portion of the Great Wall. This is the most eastern part of the wall, so it is also very close to our crazy friend North Korea. what was nice about this section was it doesn't get very many tourists...so it wasn't crowded at all.

Entering the little town outside of the beside the great wall.


I actually liked this little town quite a bit. it was very very pretty and the people were really nice.



Jess and I ate at a really great restaurant before starting our hike. the staff was super nice and friendly and the outside dining area had really cute puppies everywhere.
Thank goodness for this meal. God knows we needed a good meal to give us enough energy to take on this portion of the Great Wall.


At the entrance...and ready for some Great Wall action.

Beginning the journey. hahahahaha not too bad a picture of my butt. hahahaha




Everwhere you look is an absolutly breath taking view. i'm not one much for landscape pictures, but i found myself taking a million. it was just so gorgeous.











Hanging out at the Great Wall.


Even puppies climb it.

An unrestored section.


somehow it always seemed we were running into the people with the puppy. i defintly wasn't complaining. it was soooo adorable.



two very exhausted girls.
As we were leaving, Bus filled with chinese soliders on break pulled in. there were hundreds of them, and they seemed to be quite entertained by jess and i. A few of them asked to get a picture taken with me. they were really funny.



Like I said, They Loved us!
