Summer Palace and Aunt Diane

Last week, my Aunt Diane came to Beijing. She was visiting for a business trip but I got to see her for most of the day on Thursay. It was a lot of fun to have her here, all the way from Arizona. We went to see the Summer Palace, the summer "home" to the Emporer and the Empress. It was need to see but we had more fun shopping at the silk market where she got to see Tom in action as the great bargainer he is!

Red hair is very rarely seen here, in China. Diane said that she came through a doorway and a little girl looked at her, gasped and pointed at her.
