Today we go to the lacquer factory and Emperor Qin’s Terra Cotta Warriors! The furniture and mock soldiers were breathtaking! Then we went to the actual Terra Cotta warriors! There were three pits of soldiers/warriors, the second was the biggest, holding a total of about 2,000 ceramic fighters. The first and third pits were smaller, but equally impressive. They had to be kept in the dark because they are so ancient they’re in danger of disintegrating. After we went around to all the dig sites for the soldiers and the warriors, we went into a tea shop nearby and waited for the rest of our group. We went out for dinner and after, packed up for our long stay in Wuhan. We leave tomorrow, and start teaching on Monday! We’re all excited, even though some people haven’t even started thinking of their lesson plans yet. Ah well, Grandma planned ahead and was done with plans three weeks before we left. Wuhan tomorrow!
