That's my mom on the right in the red shirt and jeans. She can't wait to "attack" the shops near the Shibaozhai Temple. The beautiful silk jackets hanging on the rack at the left were a great bargain and were found at many of the shops in the gauntlet of vendors between our ship and the temple. Prices started at 300-400 RMB (about $35-$50 for a lined silk jacket), but most of us were able to negotiate down to about 75-100 RMB ($8-$15)!
