We spent the day with the Thelers and Butlers, co-owners with us of our new house in St George, who were in Xi'an at the end of their Silk Road tour. We went to the Xi'an Horticultural Expo which we enjoyed immensely on a prior visit, and we rented bikes to save Paula's back and Jeff Butler's plantar faciitis from too much exertion. In this photo we are standing in front of a sand sculpture of the founders of the People's Republic - this being National Day holidays in celebration of the founding of the country. Our tickets to the Expo were provided by our university, but we found out that for National Day we need a more expensive ticket. In our discussions with the ticket folks we discovered that since we are all over 60 years of age we could get into the park for free, but we had to prove our age. The Butlers and Thelers had copies of their passports, I used my Utah driver's license, and Paula used my insurance card.
