City walls in Xi'an in the rain

03.04.2015

When we got to Xi'an I was exhausted. We went to the hotel and all I wanted to do was sleep and have a pee. I had a pee but then I didn't get to sleep.

We tromped all around town. First we went to the city walls. We didn't stay there long, and they wanted to go to some sort of poetry museum for $15. I really didn't want to go because it would be all in Chinese! No thanks! We had already come down from the wall at that point, so we couldn't go back up and walk around some more. I was a little sad.

We then went to the goose pagoda. It's dedicated to super monkey's master. It was raining like crazy. We walked all around looking for a special soup place. By the time we found it, it was closed. Instead, we went to a fantastic old fashioned Chinese place for dinner. I had a bowl of noodles that was one big fat giant noodle. Delicious. We also had cooked pig blood (!!!) and some satay and sweet milk with egg for dessert.

We walked all the way back to the hotel and I fell right asleep.
