Serendipity is the gift of appreciating something unexpectedly found, which in this gallery
you see what I found one absolutely exquisite day in May 2006 - a lovely, warm, spunky,
funny, sensuous and very kind young lady who accompanied me and a colleague on visits
to the Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, Beijing, China.

Christy reminded me so much of several good friends that it felt like we had known
each other for years. The best serendipity is a new friend.

Also below are photos supplied by Christy of a recent weekend visit to the beach
in China, with her wonderful husband, Kai.
