Arrival and first day in X'ian (continued!)

(Final of 4 posts for today - scroll down to read in order.)

Ok now we are off to the Wild Goose Pagoda which is a beautiful sight. It is surrounded by lovely shops and gardens. We spent about 1 hour int this lovely place looking at Buddah's and taking pictures. I can't even begin to tell you about all the history so I won't even try. I am going to try to post as many pics as I can and finish the day before I head to bed.


I am very tired. I can't wait to sleep in the comfy bed. We left and went to lunch and it was good the food here is just great Then we went to the Huge City wall It is wider than the great wall and goes all around the city. It was to separate the two sides of the city and as I said earlier it is the only wall that is still intact in the whole world .




After this we came back to the hotel and I went with a bunch of the kids to swim. We stayed in the pool for an hour before we had to get ready for the Dumpling Banquet. We tasted over 17 different kinds of dumplings. It was one of the best meals I have had. MacLean tried everyone of the dumplings. I am going to post a variety of pics from all the events today.




Thanks for checking in.
