We left Beijing Saturday night and took an overnight train to Xi'An (pronounced Sea Ann but say the Sea without touching your tongue to your front teeth). We were a little better off than last year's group because we had soft sleepers. This is a train compartment with four soft beds (arranged like bunk beds) and a door that closes so you have privacy from the rest of the train. I love train travel so it was pretty cool. We left at 9:30 pm and arrived in Xi'An at 8:30 am. The trip was nice but I wish I could have seen more of the country-- but that's the way it goes sometimes. Getting on the train with 17 people was a bit chaotic, however, so I didn't take any pictures. I shot some video but uploading it right now will be a real pain in my bootay. I will try later.
