Naomi in China

In her final months, Naomi, Jules and I had several especially nice visits. One took place in the hospital when she was realizing how ill she had become. She reminisced about her travels saying, “I am so glad I went to China.”


When Naomi went to China, she had recently endured both lung and kidney surgery and we were terribly worried about both the pollution and her stamina. But she returned full of life and full of wondrous descriptions.


She had climbed some of the Great Wall! She had visited the Terra Cotta Warriors! The warriors especially excited her.
I hope you enjoy these images of Naomi in China and those amazing warriors. (The photo on the bottom is a detail of the one above it. Each warrior is unique and each is life sized!)
