Zhouzhuang

We're back from Zhouzhuang and had a wonderful day touring around this ancient city built mostly on water. The drive was a bit difficult since traffic is worse than Beijing here in Shanghai. The girls whined a lot today again about the heat. The last 2 days we've experienced what we were worried about with traveling to China in August - the extreme heat and humidity. But - we've been very lucky - I think there have only been 3-4 days like this during the whole trip, so we can't complain. Here are some pictures from today.









Tonight we're heading down to the Bund where we'll go on a river cruise and have dinner in the heart of Shanghai. Tom's really looking forward to this because it was not originally in our itinerary and he thought we were going to leave Shanghai again without visiting the Bund (we only had one night here in 2001).

Tomorrow, our flight leaves around 2:30, so I likely won't post again until we arrive home. I will update then about our last evening in Shanghai and our trip home. I may also post more pictures from earlier in the trip. The uploading of photos is very slow here so I've haven't done many for some days.

Hope you are all well. Next time I post, we'll be home!
