Tony on the Great wall of China




Ok we really are happy for you Babe!!!
buuuut........
we wanna come!!
this time he went to a part of the wall that had a luge type track with a taboggan that went down a zig zag track about the height of mount wellington.he said he got a bit of speed up at times coz the chinese are a bit timid and not into speed racing.Then its a cable car back up to the top again...good idea for the ole mt wellington hey.
look at all that clear chinese air...(not)...lets be grateful for blue skies all you aussies and try not to be green with envy coz you not on the wall...like me...hmmm blue skies or the great wall???
can i just add my poem now!!??
(well poem used by Pres Hinckley couple conferences ago at the Relief Society session)
now a favourite of mine,
By Anne Campbell
You are the trip I did not take;
You are the pearls I cannot buy;
You are my blue Italian lake;
You are my piece of foreign sky.
("To my child,"quoted in Charles L.Wallis, ed.,The Treasure Chest (1965),54.
