A few days in Xi'an

This will have to be a quick post because I have limited internet here in Shanghai.  It may also be my last one unless I can get internet again later on.  We spent the last couple of days in Xi'an, one of the old capitals of China.  This is where the Eighth Wonder of the World is:  The Terracotta Warriors. Basically everything in Xi'an was about the Terracotta Warriors and the Emperor who built them.  The warriors were built as protection to Emperor Qin Shi Huang's burial site.  There were over 7000 warriors found and they are still rebuilding them.  It was quite amazing.  Here are the pictures from Xi'an.
