From the Mediterranean Sea to the Pacific Ocean, this is my first "round-the-world" tour and the first time I am traveling alone. It's also the first time I am NOT the leader of the group. This will be a huge adventure for me, one that tests my patience (smile), stamina and my ability to adapt. I can't wait!

Terracotta Warriors and the Tombs of Jingli
Well, totally blown away by the site! Saw an exinbit from here in Chicago in 1978 and vowed then that some day...
The site was beautifully done, modern, fresh, functional. The puts being excavated revealed so much more than Photos and movies, etc.
We had a grand and charming guide who did a great job of presenting the site. After viewing the excavations we toured the museum.
After lunch we rented a private car and headed out to the tombs of a Emperor Jingli and Empress Wang. The underground site was just as amazing as the warriors, only in miniature. Really cool. Take a good look at the little ones. They were morphologically correct. Ha-ha.
