The next day we decided to take a bus to a park. When we got to the park our blonde girls became the main attraction. One brave little Chinese person came up and asked if they could take a picture of Rachel, Nicole, and Vika. One person turned into a large crowd. They just kept coming to take pictures so the girls spent a few minutes posing on the rock. We should have charged 10 RMB per shot. We could have paid for our excursions for the day.
We got on these rafts and Jonny and Gavin navigated us around this little pond using long bamboo poles.
Nicole posing on a Chinese bridge. Below is a shot of a lady making silk from silk worms. It was pretty interesting to watch. She would soak the cocoons in water then remove the worm. The cocoon then was stretched out and draped over a hoop to dry and then dyed. Amazing to think that such a beautiful fabric is created from the cocoon of a worm.
