Monday in Shanghai

















Monday, after a yummy breakfast at the hotel, we went to a silk factory.


The silk worms were charming.
The factory smelled musty. The coccoons are soaked in boiling water. The air felt like boiling water.




The silk is pulled, evenly across wire frames.



Kett and Joe watched intently.

The next room at the silk factory was the store.

Some people love to shop.



The next stop was a street with more shopping.

If you got too tired walking, you could take the train along the street for one yuan.


Spencer poses at "The Thinker".

Next, we are taken across the river to enjoy the view.

Gina goes upside down.


Destie goes upside down.Noelle goes upside down.


Et cetera.




Policemen are everywhere.


The traffic signs have green if the road is clear, yellow if it is slow, and red if it is stopped.Street vendors sell vegetables... directly on the street.


We enjoy our last group dinner, but the boys are still hungry.




The final hurrah is a trip to see the Chinese Acrobats.
