Sunday, July 20th Today will be a short blog (Josh is typing it). We had a good day. Did some “chores” to start, then had a nice walk through the city.
We found the local bus to the Terracotta Army without incident. Thankfully, Jeannette was able to enjoy herself after Josh unloaded all his thoughts about his disappointment with this particular site. We spent the afternoon at the so-called Eighth Wonder of the World and made it back to the city for a nice evening stroll.
We walked the entire North-South axis between the city walls and had some great Chinese fried chicken sandwiches from some street vendors. The evening ended low key, resting and relaxing in the hotel. Tomorrow we try our hand at a new mode of transport, domestic flights.
Hopefully, by mid-afternoon we should be in Guilin in Southern China. It will be comforting to be only a day or so of travel from our final departing city, rather than our current position (half of a very large country away boasting a less than pristine track record for freedom of movement).
