MLK and Terracotta soldiers


In the morning we took the subway into the city, and then a bus to the Marin Luther King historic site, including Ebenizer Baptist Church. A black man on the bus told us that was his stop, and that the young people don´t believe that the history really happened. We saw the tomb, as well as a movie. The bad old days that Americans are not proud of.

We had lunch at Thumbs up, a local restaurant suggested by the man on the bus, and then on the bus to the subway. Interesting to be the only white folks on the bus.

The Terracotta soldiers from China were very interesting, impressive, also high quality bronze castings from 2000 years ago.

Back to the airport, and on the flight to Santiago
