A big adventure on a train to Xian




From Ling: We took a sleeper train from Beijing to Xian (she - ahn). I thought it was very cool because I had never slept on a train before. It was small but I liked the ride.




Mom- Good GOD! I am glad Ling had a great adventure, because we'll never be train-ing again in China. After 2 hot showers and an actual scotch I think I have recovered. I will say that the ability to see the country side once the sun came up was really cool though. I loved seeing the real China - the China where our daughter was born. What you see past the coasts and past the big cities is still, despite all the growth here, extremely poor rural farming.
