china rocks

You will have to excues the typos as i am under extreme conditions here.  I just finished seeing the terra cotta warriors and then saw how they made silk.  There were not children involved, but they did put aiden to work pulling the silk out.  Beijing was incredilble.  They are not afraid to have their buildings stand out.  And the number of people was overwhelming. Treesa got to see a kite being flown in the Square and then we walked and we walked and we walked.  Oh yeah, did i mention we walked.  Saw so many things don't even know where to start.  After we headed up to Datong and visited buddhist caves.  They may be a topper, but we will have to see.  I just found out that i may be able to wrestle baby pandas.  While it is a bit colonialist i think i might have to be done.  Treesa is going to get my health paperwork up to date in case they turn on me. 
 
The kids are doing well.  Food has been good, but potties leave something to be desired.  I will refrain from saying they are crappy....

It sounds like there are just a few interesting things to see. How do you communicate with the locals? Steve gets his surgery on Thursday 12:00. Woodticks
