getting around

FFF:

Been staying pretty close within "the compound" but starting to venture out a little.  We all took a trip to another corner of Shanghai to a Chinese Antique Furniture Store.  It was located in a back alley within the city (driver Jin Rong took us there) some really cool stuff, but I don't need any furniture.  Dave & Kelly found a cool chest which they are going to use as a coffee table.

Kelly and I took the bikes and rode out of the compound to a store (had an American section...very small) but we bought a lot of local stuff, filled the basket on my bike, and peddled home.  There are millions of people walking, riding bikes, and scooters just hurrying are scurrying.......like a bunch of ants.  It's not Kansas Toto!!!!

Went to the Science center one day and accepted a lot of stares!  People are fascinated by Murphy's light skin and blonde hair; especially the older women.  It's quite common for people to ask to take their picture with her.  She is quite willing, and stands in there with a bit smile

The following picture are of Dave and Kelly's house and inside the compound.  Once around is a mile and beautiful so get lots of good walks in.  The waterfall is within the compound.  The sky line is what we see from the park within.

Oops, Dave's computer is not compatible with my camera's memory stick, so after we find a solution, I will post pictures.  Miss you all, but having a great time........love, Joyce
