I'm having a lot of trouble with the internet connection here in Xi'an but all is well.  Had a great day with the Terra Cotta Warriors - UNESCO now, a huge dumpling lunch and we have to leave the hotel at 5:40am tomorrow to catch a flight to Guilin which is supposed to be a lot more rural and peaceful.  We will be going on a short cruise with a "box lunch" on the Li River.  Hopefully I will be able to get some pictures on both facebook and here in the next day or so.  All is well and we had a beautiful, perfect sunny, blue sky day - life is good!
