Quite a walk out to the walls, horrifying butcher street (goats, everywhere!) must they display skinned heads? worse then the racists.... a rather imprompteou path along the wall traced after that - it apparently isn't thought of as too much of a destination here, there was a little bit of a park with trails, for a bit... then just mud tracks.... we had to switch sides fairly often to have walking surface. One brief diversion for apple tea after awhile, but we ran out as soon as the late-afternoon sun showed itself, cutting the savoring short (apple tea is excellent, and kept getting better. was served everywhere, drank at least 3 cups of it a day there, the heat of it was very appreciated). wall got a lot more fun when we started to be able to walk up on top of it in the sun. Many short sections, and overgrown places, and ancient rooms, and broken bottles, and unhealthily steep stairs (less fun then those in amsterdam), and cool overlooks into emptier places then we found otherwise in the city. The wall wasn't singular in many parts, there was a couple sets of walls spanning over 50 feet, and within the walls were urban gardens. It looked like people got some serious usage out of the land, very cool to see. Full on agriculture, see the horse?
