Xian was great! We had a good time and some good experiences. Bruce and his family were very helpful and the small amount of time we spent with them was good. Unfortunately for Bruce and his family their little boy Eric got sick and they spent a lot of time in the hospital. He had a fever and cough. He's all better now.

Here are some miscellaneous pictures that we took and of course....we had to put some with food in!

Clockwise(starting in upper left hand corner)....view from train to Xian, View of Xian Mountains from Boss, Artist that did finger painting, boys being silly, Family Selfie

Clockwise...Xian City wall at night...Jami sleeping on train...sign everyone was taking pictures of (so why not us) for Chinese Hamburger, Boys at city wall

Clockwise...Toffy pounders at a taffy pulling shop (they were all over), waiting for our Chinese hamburgers (yummy), I think it was made from Lamb, Ev loving some BBQ, Chinese type pizza that was super good and fried!

Clockwise...Boys in front of Lion/Dragon statue at Free History Museum, Another City wall picture (it WAS pretty impressive!, Ethan happy to be heading home in his bunk, the Train has arrived back to Hua'an! 

We had a great time in Xian and that will be our last big adventure away from Huai'an before Feb '15 (that we have planned anyway). We are always trying to explore and find more here, where we live, and from our understanding we live in a city rich with history and culture!
