Paul was electric. Very conversant and informative on the long drive to the wall. Scrambling about on the unrestored Wall was beyond cool. Lots of vertical at times, and in some places had to skirt around the wall ruins. Pretty epoch experience. The vistas are breathtaking... i found myself staring north from the wall imaging mongol hordes swarming into the valley. At other times i was gasping for breath after a near vertical 100m scramble. Paul took us for a delicious lunch afterward where he treated us to vibrant conversation stretching from Chinese history to the superiority of Xi Jinping to Donald Trump. My man Paul’s blood runs red and yellow. God bless you, my friend.
