We have been so busy we seem to be a few days behind on our pictures and updates.  The computer here is very slow so not sure what we will be able to get uploaded tonight.

This picture is just for Ethan.

We did make it to Xi'an yesterday after a 3 hour delay due to rain in Beijing.  We went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda yesterday afternoon and then the Tong Dynasty Show with dumpling banquet in the evening.  These were the same places that we visited when we adopted Anya so it brought back lots of memories.  We are even staying at the same hotel, The Bell Tower, which is right in the middle of the city.

Pigeon head on a chopstick..yummy!

Today we rode bikes on the Xi'an city wall and then went to the Terracotta Warriors for the afternoon. So much has changed since our time here 10 years ago.  Much more built up and the crowds at each attraction are overwhelming.  For all our trips to China, we have never traveled in the summer which is peak tourist season, it is amazingly different!
