The girls try the job of stretching the silk...harder than they thought, the entrance to the Penjing (bonsai) garden at the Botanical Gardens, Sean sitting with the art dealers...these are two of the four paintings that we bought during this trip. We also bought some chinese vases, a chess set made of bone, hand embroidered silk pillow cases, some reference books on the Yangtze river and the Terra Cotta Warriors, a glass vase that was painted from the inside, a pearl necklace, some miniature terra cotta warriors, some hats with the Beijing 2008 Olympic Logo (2 for $1), and many other things...China is cheap. |
