Mom and Dad at their hotel in Shanghai

The hotel was really pretty

Getting ready for Christmas

Mom and Dad on the Subway in Shanghai; crazy!! 

Mom enjoying some starbucks <3

This E-Bike looks like it was on it's last legs. You can imagine the "Jim Young" jokes that were made.

Touring around Shanghai!





Was so excited about AE, but they don't have LONG like we have at home, only short and regular...damn

One of the main roads in Shanghai!

No shortage of Sweet Potato Vine here! Man that stuff looks good; eh Amanda?


Entering back into "People's Square" downtown

Some more friends for Megan and I !




We found a church; it was Episcopalian (spelled wrong probably)




And now for my place of worship!

The Pedestrian side of the street!

SHARKS!

NOM NOM NOM!


The Bund!


The plants are each in their own individual pot IN the wall!

Another friend for Meg and me. ALSO Mom tried to get close up and take a photo of the inscription
and an officer blew his whistle at her; ahaha mom just causing all kind of trouble!

The Peace Hotel; it's a Fairmont hotel, looked super nice. And it looks right out over the Bund




Going into the tunnel under the Bund

Our transportation under the Bund


The light show under the bund

Now we're on the otherside

looking at the Bund

That is the Pearl Tower


Even a McD's here!






Making our way up to the Pearl Tower





Looking out at the city!


Part of the dinner at the revolving restaurant; I didn't bother eating this, it looked kind of gross but I thought it was hilarious!


Our view from the restaurant!





Back at the viewing floor!








The glass floor! Just like at the CN Tower!

Mom making her way out!


Dad opting to just watch from the sidelines!



Now we're back at the bund, we can see the Pearl Tower









Back on the Pedestrian Street
