We woke up at 4 AM to get to the airport. The plane ride here, to Xi'an, was nice and short. While waiting for luggage to get checked at the airport we started to name all the American food we missed. The Chinese airport security is crazy, at least in Beijing, but we did not have to take our shoes off. David laughed at the idea of taking your shoes off for security. When we landed we went right on a bus and headed into Xi'an.
Our first stop was the City Wall. It was very big, bigger then I thought,
and it was very interesting to me. WE had some free time to walk around the wall, so I got into a group with Alexa, Sam, Nick, Jake, and others and we walked around. After the wall we went to lunch, I had Fig Newton's because I didn't like the choices except the chicken.

The shop was a little annoying because the people who worked there did not leave you alone and whenever you looked at something they thought you were going to buy it.
We then went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The Pagoda was really pretty and interesting. You could pay 2 Yuan to go up to the top, but I did not want to. So instead Shelby, Nick, Sam, Beth, and I wandered around the grounds of the Wild Goose Pagoda. We found a little store shack thing and I bought tea flavored Gatorade. It was the best Gatorade ever! After he Pagoda we went to the hotel.
Me and Lexa were rooming together again, which was cool. We chilled at the hotel for 2 hours and watched a Chinese soap opera, the sheep cartoon show, and a kung fu movie. We went to dinner and it was pretty tasty. We stopped by a bakery and I bought some pound cake thing. It was really good too!
We then went to a Tang Dynasty Dance Show. It was okay, the dancing was not that impressive. But that is probably because I am a dancer. On the way back we were so loud, everyone else fell asleep but we were really slap happy. And we were waiting for the elevator Scott fell asleep standing up. All in all today was a good day!
