Saturdays in Beijing–Hiking up to the Great Wall

Kevin and Vincent joined Izzie and Jeff Plaman this Saturday on a hike up to the Great Wall.  The weather was a perfectly crisp day with a bright blue sky and and comfortable temperature.

Izzy is the Twitter friend that Vincent had made virtually through Jeff and me last year.  In person, they are becoming great buds–as you can see from the pics down below.  The folks are too.  Twitter is a great communication tool, but it’s even better when you meet the people in person!

Here are Izzie and Vincent about to start the hike!

There's nothin' like a lil' arm wrestling in the car to pass the time away.
