The terracotta warriors at the National Geographic




The National Geographic is showing, until March, a small number of the terracotta soldiers at its headquarters and galleries on 17th and L Streets in Washington.




It's wonderful to see these interesting faces again. And as Fran said, the coats, tunics, pants and headgear may be next season's fashions.




Most of all it was a joy to remember being in the digs of the tomb of first emperor Qin Shi Huang and seeing the amazing array of thousands of the soldiers.




Everybody, go to China!









Fran Dauth and I had an excellent day at the warriors' exhibit.
