John,
Alicia and Carol in front of two warriors |
Having
visited the pits we proceeded to the museum store in search of a
book on the warriors and some T-shirts. An advantage of purchasing
your book here is that you can get a copy autographed by one of
the villagers who discovered the tomb in 1974. It only cost a few
RMB (Chinese money) so why not? Of course I realize that the autographed
book and about a dollar will get me a cup of coffee almost anywhere
I want.
We
managed to also buy some nice quality T-shirts that, I'm happy to
report, haven't shrunk after several washings. Chinese T-shirts
(as I've previously mentioned) are notorious for shrinking.
Leaving
the museum we headed off to lunch at a nearby restaurant. Yes, it
was approved for tourist by the National Tourism Board as every
place we visited was.
