We just got back from an amazing trip to Xi'an, China. We stayed at a youth hostel in the Muslim Quarter, saw the Terracotta Warriors and the Xi'an Great Mosque, and the Kiddo and I rode a tandem bike around the city wall. We also ate lots of delicious street food in the Muslim Quarter. Xi'an has immediately jumped to the top of my list of great cities for street food.
We're now in the last couple of days of Fall Break, catching up on homework and resting. School starts back up on Monday.
Here are my recent reviews:
Book Reviews on Goodreads
Tigers at Twilight from Mary Pope Osborne's Magic Tree House series.
Junie B.: First Grader: Aloha-Ha-Ha by Barbara Park
Comic Reviews on Comic A Day
The Amazing Spider-Man #800 from Marvel Comics.
Tree Rats! Or, the Crepuscular Hobbyhorse by EJ Barnes.
Captain Spectacular #2 from Gumshoe Comics.
Amulet Book 2: The Stonekeeper's Curse by Kazu Kibuishi.
Explorer: The Lost Islands, edited by Kazu Kibuishi.
Supporting
I'm supporting Michael and Brooke Freeman's trip to help schools in South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Upcoming
We're into October, and my school does Halloween in a big way. Decorations should be up when we return to school. We're working on getting a costume together for the Kiddo.
My school gets one day off for Thanksgiving (the Friday, so we get a long weekend), and we're considering a short trip to one of the nearby cities. We're also looking into travel destinations within China for Christmas break.
I missed the Guilds of Ravnica prerelease completely with our trip to Xi'an. I'm hoping to catch a draft or two in the coming weeks. D&D has been on hold since June but there has been some talk of starting it back up again.
Looking forward to lots of WWE action in the coming weeks with a packed schedule including Super Showdown, Evolution, Crown Jewel, Takeover: Wargames, and Survivor Series, plus the ongoing Mae Young Classic and Mixed Match Challenge.
