Silk Market and Fashion Show

For us it's bedtime. We have a lready enjoyed a busy Monday here is Beijing. Our first stop today was the Chinese Silk Market. We had an enertaining guide who shared with us the way silk goes from cocoon to comforter. It was a cool process. After a tour of the factory, and trying our hands at stretching the silk, none of us will be ready to leave teaching for silk making any time soon. After a quick fashon show of some of the clothes made from that very factory, we purchased several pieces and headed to our next destination.
