Today we went to the terracotta warriors' museum and the Bampo Neolithic Village. Since I'd been to the museum before, I pretty much just spent the time sitting around with Tracy. I got to tap into the vault a little bit. The village part I found interesting - an ancient matriarchal society in our very own China! How intriguing. Although we saw a few skeletons and remains of clay burial pots, it really was somewhat underwhelming. The exhibit next door, with a model village and hired actors reenacting the old days, seemed much more exciting... but ah, we weren't allowed to go to that. SAD.
A few photos to follow... we mostly sat/walked around under a very hot sun.
Following that, I spent a coupla hours editing stories before meeting Tracy for dinner (steamed dumplings) and ice cream (Haagen-Dazs macadamia nut!) and then playing pool with him, Elliott and Rio at the hall beside our hotel. Exciting!
