China

We went to China about a month ago. Collin planned the trip and didn't tell me where we were going until we go to the airport. It was a great experience. I don't think I have ever been as culture shocked as I was on that trip. The best part of all was the Great Wall. I climbed all those stairs in what felt like 100 degree heat. Here are some pictures. Included is a picture of the biggest Buddha statue in the world. It was carved from one tree. We tried to take the picture in a way that you could get the full perspective, but it was just too big. It is about 18 m. tall (60 ft.) but stretches another 10 or so underneath.
