I don't know if I've told you that Ankang, you remember...the city where I live in Shaanxi, has a wall. We're not saying it's the original wall. Parts of it have been replaced and parts renovated. And though extensive it is not complete. Ankang has grown up around the wall and now surrounds it. I live inside the walled area, about 4-5 blocks from this gate. Through here is the river. This gate was closed at least once in recent years due to flood warnings.

Lavelle, My parents "boosted" two bricks from the Great Wall, maybe I can send them to you and you can tuck them in somewhere! And if anyone is going to the Sistine Chapel, I have a tile to return. They left a trail of gaping holes in their travels. Just trying to make amends for their "behavior".

Katie, that's a heavy load. Maybe you should just leave them on the coffee table.
As I was setting up this blog, I was thinking about how you suggested a blog to me. Only took me a year! I was quicker on picking up your camera idea.
