Third Day- 6:28pm Tuesday

Cars zoom down a crowded a Shanghai street, oblivious to the pedestrians crossing haphazardly through them. Let's just face it: the cars, trucks and motorcycles could care less about what they hit. So today, after breakfast we hurried our way through the street over to the market. Vendors were everywhere, selling everything you could ever imagine, from steaming hot chestnuts to ear cleaners. We spent the rest of our day, wandering through the stalls in the chilly, perfect weather. Yesterday everybody wore 6-7 layers of clothing (I wore about 3) and today about 3-4 layers (I wore a thin turtleneck). Everybody keeps talking about how cold it is, but to me its not!

Anyways, I am kind of tired of writing so I leave you with the link to today's pictures.

Hi Natalie!

Sounds like you are having a great time and we are sure enjoying your bolg. It's we are over there with you seeing everything. Ashley and Jacob are over here until Wednesday night. I'm looking forward to hear how they spend Christmas over there. Or if they do.

Love Grandma
