Odd Animals

At the Purple Mountain plum blossom festival, people can rent traditional Chinese clothing for their photographs. We Westerners are still something of a curiousity in Nanjing. The women in this photo asked to take a picture with Dr. Rhoton (below), who with his white beard, is very unusual looking here. They pulled me into the picture, too. Same thing happened last summer when Joe was here. It's like being a panda bear. People want to remember sighting us.
