Greetings from the travellers in Shanghai!!Well - I slept ALMOST all night - only woke up for one hour at 2:30 and hopped on the internet and then went back to bed - not too bad, I didn't think! But I was glad I did sleep
because we have had a busy day sightseeing and it's only 2 pm here!!Here is our hotel - the dark one in the middle - Park Hotel. It's an older hotel but is beautiful and has a lot of character. AND it's in the heart of downtown - we just love to go out walking down here.
We started our day with the Shanghai Museum - what a gorgeous (and very large) museum - 4 floors of the history of Shanghai and artifacts of it's past - right up Joe's alley - he loved it!
Then we headed to Yuyuan Garden and a Jade factory. The gardens were beautiful - very fun for me as I went to the Chinese Gardens in Portland and I can see where Portland modeled theirs after this sa
me garden. And the Jade factory was so interesting as well - lots to see there as you could watch the people carving the jade. We are so impressed with Shanghai - we are enjoying it a lot. One more day of sightseeing here and then on to Nanjing.So, what are we eating you might ask?? Becky did branch out and have eggs and pastries for breakfast - while Joe was eating anything on the buffet - anything didn't move, that is! For lunch, well, Joe caved and agreed to Subway - here is the proof. Now that might mean Becky has to give in and eat "local" for supper!!
