There are a couple of unspectacular pics. You can see better on the internet.

Pit 1 Warriors

This is our third stop and our third visit to a capital city in China. Xi’an was the first capital city, starting in 221 BC. Luoyang was the second capital city. Beijing was the third. We started out getting the hotel to open their breakfast half an hour early. Then we took the bullet train to Xi’an. there wasn’t quite enough luggage room and I was slow on the uptake, so Danita had a less than comfortable ride. (I was in the center seat and Danita on the aisle. So she got the suitcase.) We traveled at 300 KPH (185 MPH).

Kneeling Archer

When we got here, it was time for lunch. We had a wonderful buffet at a brand new restaurant. Then it was off to the Terracotta Warriors. It was important we see them today because tomorrow starts a 3-day weekend in China. (May 1 is their Labor Day). The warriors will be mobbed starting tomorrow. It was already too crowded for me. The pit 1 (the largest grouping) was quite crowded. After I managed one pic, my crowd anxiety kicked in and I had to leave the building. The other exhibits weren’t as crowded, so I got to see them.

We got out of the museum at 4, but the weekend rush had already started. We got to our hotel at 7:30. We had a quick but good dinner before checking in. It’s past my bedtime, but tommorw’s another busy day and I don’t want to get behind.
