Time with Bethany's Parents

Alvin's parents came to visit, and they left town on Sunday morning. On Sunday afternoon, my parents came in to visit.

The first tour spot we took them to was a cave where many army people hid hundreds of years ago. At this spot, we were able to walk on the Great Wall (even though it is more like a mud hill). Apparently, the Great Wall is not all build by brick. In this area, the Great Wall is built by mud. As a result, it was harder to keep up the maintenance of the wall. We were also able to ride camels:

Before I left, some of my relatives teased that in this city, we were going to be riding camels everywhere. That is not true, but many of the scenic spots include camel rides.

On the second day, we went to visit the mountains near our house. Here is a picture of us before we made it to the mountains.

Overall, the visit was very good. I was really happy to have been able to see both sets of parents. They were very encouraging and really liked seeing us doing ok in our new city.
