We made it to Xian and out to the Terracotta soldiers which were amazing. What a find that was and what a job it is to dig them out!
It was rainy in Xian but there is really interesting Muslim Quarter (quite an ecclectic mix Chinese-Muslims) and very cool Old Mosque but with chinese architecture of course. Mike found this vendor making chicken kebabs so those were a Xian favorite.
We took the train to Chengdu last night and arrived 18 hours later. The train stopped everytime it picked up speed. There are some sights to see around the area like the infamous Pandas and a big buddha. We have train tickets leaving for Tibet on Sunday....36 hours from here. Should be fun.
We just got back to the hostel from getting 4$ hour long foot massages and a nice lunch that was about 1$ for some good rice and veggies. Things are definitely cheaper out of the cities.
Internet has been hard to find of late so many of the funny tales will have to wait until I can tell them in person. The weather is getting cooler but we are happy that it is not raining today.
