Xi'an pictures

I was trying to wait for all the pictures to be collected on a single hard drive, but that doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon. So I will give you what I have.

This is a photo of all us that went and our former student/tour guide extraordinaire, Jackie. From left, Emily, Pip, Michelle, me, Jackie

Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Nearly 2,000 years old and in the exact center of Xi'an. No idea about the name.

Terra-cotta warrior army. When one of the Emperors of the Tang Dynasty died, he had an army of terra-cotta warriors buried with him to accompany him to the afterlife. These were all hidden underground and forgotten about until a farmer trying to dig a well discovered them in the 1970's.



Close up of one of the warriors. This one is an archer. All of the terra cotta warriors had different facial features. No two among the thousands are alike.
