Xi'an China - April 10,2010

Hi everybody! For the past few days, we have been in Xi'an which is a city in the middle of China. I did many things like take a stroll through the markets, saw some Pandas, and walked along the ancient city wall. I also had a great time at the Terra Cotta Soldiers. I can't believe that there are at least 7000 of them. The soldiers were made by Emperor Qin who also made the Great Wall and unified China. Even though he accomplished many amazing things, he was still very unpopular because many people died working on the Terra Cotta Soldiers and the Great Wall. Back in Xi'an, we even encountered a pick pocket or two in the markets - (nothing stolen though).

I'll post another message from Yangshou.

    Cade, the exhibit at the National Geographic pales to the actual site. You are very fortunate to have this opportunity. Loved the pandas and your picture - although, Enjoy your day! Include some pics of Carson and mom/dad in next post.
    Love,
    Nonni
