Fenlason - Pineda: Date Day

Back in Seattle FINALLY. Heading to Seattle Center to have a late lunch and to see the Terracotta Warriors of the First Emperor - World Premiere at Pacific Science Center.

Lunch.

Crab wontons.

Thai iced tea.

Pineapple fried rice.

And prik king with chicken.

Pacific Science Center ceiling.

My guitar gently weeps . . .

Strummin' my pain with his fingers . . .

Fancy bike mobile.

Glowing globe.

A pair of Brachiosauri.

Parasaurolophus and Tyrannosaurus rex.

Ceratosauri?

Turtles.

Triceratops and Stegosaurus.

Triceratops.

The High Rail Bicycle. 15 ft. above the ground - on a rail only one inch wide! We didn't ride it. The line was too long.

Magic sliding doors at the entry.

"Armor for Eternity – In real life, some soldiers wore armor made of leather plates sometimes coated with lacquer – sturdy, yet lightweight, in battle. Suites of armor, such as this one, found in a pit near the First Emperor’s tomb mound are made of stone – to heavy and fragile to be worn in real life, but likely to last an eternity. Each suit weighs about 40 pounds."

"Scholars are still debating the role of these figures. As excavations continue, more clues may be uncovered to solve the mystery."

"He may have held a drum or bell. Alternatively, he may have been feeding the birds or fishing."

"Called to Serve – Every family of the Qin empire was connected to the military. The First Emperor required one male from each household to serve. These ordinary people populated the infantry, both armored (heavy) and unarmored (light), making up the bulk of the fighting force. Military service during the Qin dynasty could be dangerous, but it also provided opportunities for young men to increase their status through military achievement."

One of these things is not like the others . . .

I'm pretty sure that this is a combat pose or, perhaps a horse-riding pose . . . but he may have eaten something spoiled. Regardless, he's gonna wish that he had arms and hands.
