Ni Hao everyone!
it is now 10:19p.m. on Friday and I have been up since Thursday morning. Flight from Toronto to Shanghai was great. Good movies, good food and sleep en route too. 14 1/2 hours of non-stop flying!

Dennis, our Chinese tour guide was at the airport to meet me and we waited for the team from Edmonton to arrive around 5:30p.m. We had a lovely Chinese dinner with food circulated around a lazy susan. We also got a chance to wander into an embrodiery gallery--the handicraft is unique to this part of Shanghai!

I am sitting here in the French Quarter sending this message to all of you with my friends Diana and Fred in a little place called the Cottage because that is what it looks like.

It is time for me to head to bed, back at the Holiday Inn. We just thought we would explore quickly.

love to all of you from hot and humid Friday night in Shanghai.

love Katy

I'm just around the corner from your house
Hey Katy!!! Glad to hear you made it through the *very* long flight and are safely in Shanghai - minus any quarantine! I'm at the coffee shop just down the street from your place... physio, then heading back to YYC. From a "tourist" in Toronto to one across the sea... wishing you lots of love and good times through the weeks ahead!! M.
