Got a good American breakfast at the hotel this morning. We went off to see a mosque (Muslims actually live in Xi'an). We then went down the Muslim street where people sell their wares. I don't recommend going there. A storekeeper pushed Allison after she touched the pieces on an already opened mahjong set. Daniel prevented the situation from escalating. We then went to a factory that makes silk rugs. We then went on a wild goose chase to find (are you ready?) the Wild Goose Pagoda. The pagoda suffered earthquake damage and leans to one side. After seeing a water show in the public square, we headed back to Beijing.
Our tour guide, Daniel, was excellent! He was very knowledgeable about the city and is a very personable guy. Get him as your tour guide if you go to Xi'an.
