Xian Day 1
We had a train to Xian at 9:30A.m. so took a little time to walk thru Peony Park on the way back from coffee at Mc Donald's. I showed Mike where we had taken Sunny, Bel and Elias to play. The train station was full of drama. Our train was over 1hour late and we were waiting just dozing. We heard a commotion and looked to see a man yelling at the train officials. As ...

The day heated up a bit (mid 70s with quite high humidity) and the smog ...
The Terracotta Warriors
Today we did the tourist thing and joined a tour party. We started with a visit to the Great Wild Goose pagoda. A 7 storey pagoda in the middle of a Buddhist temple. This is only a few miles outside of Xi'an but takes 30 minutes or more to get there through the traffic. Xi'an is chaos, there is no other way to describe it. And chaos with lots of people.
