China: Drum Tower and Environs

Okay, back to China again. In Xian there's the Bell Tower, and the Drum Tower. Both within walking distance so it's easy to see one performance than hurry and see the next performance. Well, we didn't know that, and didn't hurry. We did catch the tail end of the drum performance though. After we walked down a local street had some dinner then wandered through the Muslim market which is also part of the Muslim Quarter. Apparently the Great Mosque of Xian is a place to see. But by about that time we were done for the day and made our way back to the hotel. The next day would be very strenuous. And I will get back to that day...eventually...

Oh, one other thing. Every where I went, people were taking my picture. I returned the favour by taking their picture as well.

Tourists?

Toronto Photo Walks: Little Italy (again) VII

Okay, finally I have come to the end of the Little Italy/Korea Town photo walk. Just in time to. Some fans are getting a little restless *looks at creaking barricade on door*. So we finally finished up are walk by going through a few parks and back to Bathurst street where we found a pub with a roof top patio. It was a great end to a great day.
