Red Hair in China



Some things can be a disadvantage in China. My Rubenesque shape being one of them and red hair being another. Kris has naturally red hair and in Guilin it became one of the popular tourist attractions for two of the large Chinese tour groups. I betcha from that one stifling hot afternoon she was put on more than 100 cell phones and 60 cameras. Everyone wanted their picture taken with her. Jim was an afterthought. I just stood back (in the shade) and took pictures of them getting their pictures made. They finally managed to escape and we headed around to the other side of Elephant Trunk Hill to cool off in the shade. Our respite didn’t last long though, we were found and the pictures with the redhead began again.
