Xi'an

Well we arrived here in Xi'an yesterday afternoon. The weather was a huge shock! I went from 85 degres to 40 degress. CRAZY!!! Yesterday we just walked around town and did a little shopping. Today we did a lot of sight seeing. We visited the place where Laozi wrote the Dao Da Jing, the book for Daoism and then rode horses up to the Nestorian Pagoda. The Nestorians were the first people to bring Christianity to China. After that we rode the bus to visit a caligraphy museum. It was a bummer though because the museum was outside and it was raining so it was a little hard to enjoy it. Right now im sitting in starbucks catching up with family and friends. Tomorrow we are visiting the Terra Cotta soldiers so I will write more after that!
