Relaxed Day

More relaxed today, Kerri is feeling much better today. We toured the Summer Palace, where the Emperor would stay during the summer. Although it being winter, the palace was impressive with all its history, but very cold today. It would be beautiful to visit in the Spring or Autumn. Afterwards we enjoyed another Chinese lunch with more food than we could eat!. Then it was off to a silk factory, where we were shown how they obtained the silk from the silk worm cocoon & of coarse they had lots of fine products for sale.
Spent the evening shopping (nearby) & bartering in the silk market and then we had a very nice dinner on the top floor of the silk market. Tomorrow we will take a rickshaw tour of Old Beijing.
