gramma and i had an enjoyable day at Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. i do think the gaggle of stone warriors, animals and horsedrawn carriages were a bit of a pompous gesture by the first emperor of China who was not satisfied with people serving him hand and foot alive and had to continue this in his after life. i think of all the people who slaved over constructing his necropolis who probably were starved and underpaid and died during construction. on a happy note, since i don't know if i'll ever visit Xi'an and see the real deal, a sample of the terracotta warriors in an American museum sufficed.

Glad you took your grandma. I bet it was pricey.
