We are in Xi'an now, flew here this am and went straight to five guided tours and two meals before checking in to the hotel. Everyone is very exhausted, but we saw and learned a ton. The Terra Cotta Warriors were the best...if you don't know what they are google them, because it will take me too long to write. It is so neat! Basically they found these "Soldiers" under the ground 25 years ago, it is the largest active archealogical dig in the world i think...very cool. Then we went to a few more places from the Qin and Han dynasties and went to a cultural show (which was also very cool)...

Tomorrow, we have more tours in the am then on to Shanghai, which I am very excited about. I think it will be really fun to be in a more metropolitan place (maybe we'll have normal toliets). The hotel we are in now is actually really nice. Ok, I am exhausted, but wanted to post something from this city before we go. More tomorrow...wearing my "Green Monstah" shirt now to represent Boston way over in China.
