Xi'an: terra cotta warriors

Kathryn and her friend Catherine (hereafter referred to as K and C) and I flew from Kunming to Xi'an last night. Xi'an isn't really near anything else, but has an underground terra cotta army that some farmers stumbled upon when digging a well. The soldiers are amazingly detailed and were once painted. They also held bronze weapons, directed chariots, and generally commanded troops.
