Day 3 the Great Wall

We started to morning by checking out of our hotel and then took an almost 2 hour ride to the Great Wall. We went to the Mutuanyu section where we could ride a ski lift up and take a "sled" down. WOW!! We had a fantastic time!! It was HOT, very HOT!! But it was amazing. Beautiful. Breath taking. We spent 2 hours walking and climbing. Alaina was such a trooper. She LOVED it. She never once said she was hot or anything.

When we finished walking the wall we headed to a local restaurant for some more traditional Chinese food. It was fantastic!! We then, all hot, wet, and sweaty went to the airpot and took a 2 hour flight to Hangzh*u. We checked in about 10pm last night.

"Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you... For I am the Lord your God..
~Isiah 43:1-3

Syndactyly is a term to describe webbed fingers or toes. In most cases the webbing is only skin, but in some cases, the bone may be fused together. Surgery is performed to correct the condition.

Polydactyly literally means "extra digits." There may be an extra thumb, small finger, or, less commonly, an extra digit in the central part of the hand. Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital hand anomalies.

Microtia is an incompletely formed ear. It ranges in severity from a bump of tissue to a partially formed ear. In most cases, only one ear is affected. In that case, it is called Unilateral Microtia. If both ears are affected, it is called Bilateral Microtia. In addition to the physical characteristics, there is a possiblitiy of some or all of these problems: About a 40% reduction of hearing in the affected ear, problems locating the direction from which a sound comes and ear infections.
