The Great Wall

I love to visit old places.  In China, the people believe that a person must visit The Great Wall once in their lifetime.  There are so many steps. The steps are worn and uneven because so many people have climbed them and the wall is built along the ridge of a mountain.  Along the wall hang many locks that newlyweds hang, lock, and throw the key over the wall which is supposed to make their life together last forever.

Trip to China 2010


Learning about different people, searching for new friends, and traveling are my favorite things to do.  I  recently returned to Kansas City, MO from a trip to China.  The sites, sounds, smells, and surroundings filled my senses.  I left from San Francisco, CA and flew on a 747-400 to Beijing, China, the capitol. 

Beijing is a very busy city with over 3,000,000 cars.  There are too many cars, so the air is fouled.  According to the last digit on the license plate, a car can't be driven one day per week.  Many people still travel by bicycle and the Chinese people love to exercise and be outdoors even when it is very cold.

Off on another trip!


Although I just returned from a trip to China, I just found out a couple friends have invited me to the Eastern Caribbean! I am so excited to sunbathe, see the sea(again) and to perhaps ride on a catamaran...and hang out with cool guys. I love having so many friends.
