Sunday was spent visiting the homes of the former emperors. First we saw their summer palace and then the Forbidden City. We begin each day here with a very good breakfast buffet with all sorts of western and eastern food. We’re enjoying Chinese soup, fried noodles and dim sum for breakfast. Following breakfast we went with the group to the summer palace. Along the way the bus stopped at a Pearl market for shopping. We didn’t buy anything there, but the oyster 
opening demonstration and lecture were interesting. Yesterday it was a jade market.
The summer palace is spread out in a park like setting along a huge man-made lake. It is said that the emperess (the Dragon Lady) wanted to rebuild the buildings after they were destroyed in a war so she took money from the royal navy claiming that she needed a lake that size the float their ships. It is a beautiful and peaceful place.
