Friday morning June and her cousin Lynn arrived in Xi'an. They checked into the hotel and we went out to the Muslim part of town again. June's guidebook listed a popular restaurant in the area. We were seated on the third floor. Food was brought to the table and we either accepted or declined it. I tried a couple of different types of baozi (dumpling/bun type things). They were delicious! We ate our fill and it cost us less than $2 each, including drinks. I led us back to the market area. This early in the afternoon it wasn't at all crowded. People tend to come out in the cool of the evening. We bought a few souvenirs and then found an art gallery. We enjoyed browsing through the shop and even met the artist. We spent quite a bit of time there before we left with our purchases in hand.
From there we went on to the Drum Tower. We climbed up and walked around the tower. Our timing was perfect and we were able to catch a drum show while we were there.
