Days 7-9 - In Shanghai














We visited the Shanghai Museum yesterday and really enjoyed the exhibitions, especially the porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Leah and Anna were running around, and Anna fell asleep in her stroller at noon and slept for an hour. We had dinner with our relatives, and everyone was very happy to meet Anna; everyone was amazed by how much she could eat. We visited a few antique markets and the Chenghuang temple today. We enjoyed various kinds of specialty foods for lunch and were suprised to see a Yao Restaurant on the way back to where we are staying. We are leaving for Guangzhou tomorrow morning.
