FLASHBACK TO JUNE IN INDIANAPOLIS.....
AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE FOR GRANDMA G.....
A THRILL OF A LIFETIME.......
What is happening at the Indianapolis Children's Museum?
From the first I heard about the Chinese Terracotta Warriors, I have been fascinated by them and would dream and image traveling to China to see them.
Some of them came to Indianapolis while I was visiting there ....a dream come true....though I still dream of seeing them in China someday.......

The figures, dating from approximately the late third century BCE,[1] were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi province. The figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses. Current (2007) estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses, and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which are still buried in the pits nearby Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum.[2] Other terracotta non-military figures were also found in other pits and they include officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians.

This has been a good "remembering the Terracotta Warriors" day in the life of Grandma G.
