Yesterday we went for a drive following Russell who lives by us and works at school. We drove north to the huntong he rents up in the mountains. Along the way we saw this
which is a completely unrestored section of The Wall. Later we saw a section that has been restored.
This last section is about an hours drive away from our house. Yesterday was the first time we felt like we got out and saw the real China. We went through lots of little towns and villages in the countryside and the mountains where we were the only Lao wei around; it was totally non touristy.

Amazing pictures, hopefully we can come visit you there too!
One question though: is that the wall that doesn´t let facebook in?

(I guess my question was blocked by that wall)

It is a wall that’s hard to get through.
