Xi'an-phase 2

Today (or not today, but when we actually were there) we went and saw the Xi'an wall. Guess how old it is. The answer: 600 years old. The wall is as old as the history of America from a European standpoint. But the real reason I was interested was that we got to bike the whole wall. We didn't actually bike the whole 20 miles, but that was because that wall was as bumpy as bone-rattling, spine-crushing terrain gets. It didn't help that the bikes were so rickety, they seemed like they would fall apart any second either. Or the fact my oldest cousin squished his ankle between the bar and the spokes of his bike. We only went about 5 miles. Just wait until tomorrow, then it gets really fun.
