Left The Yangtze

We had a great cruise on the Yangtze River. Saw rugged scenery and high limestone cliffs, visited the Three Gorges Dam Project, saw the farmlands and homes that will soon be covered by water. Progress is hard and painful.

We flew today to Xi'an in the center of China. Tomorrow we visit the Terra Cotta Warriors and we are both looking forward to that.

The weather has turned cold so we are layering up as much as we can. The sky seems to be foggy all the time. Our guide this morning said the newer apartements in Xi'an feature blue glass in the windows so people at least have the allusion of blue sky. Interesting!
