China- Day 6

This is a village outside of Shanghai. It is believed that this is where Mission Impossible Three was filmed.



This is a chinese opera going on in the outdoor theater.

We had a peaceful ride on these gondolas taking through the rivers and showing us different homes that were right on the water.


The tiny alleys between shops was packed with people. The smells were horrible but the the sites were amazing.
This one is for you, Cassie! Eat up!


After a morning in the village, our tour guide to us to a nice place for a lunch of interesting cuisine. The first picture is fried fish, with the face staring up at us!

Many guesses were offered as to what kind of soup this is. Any suggestions?

This is pig leg- a very special treat.
Once we were done eating, we started to go down the hallway toward to exit. We found this door was open to reveal the tanks that held the fish before they are served. With 24 people in our group, it's a shock that no one got sick on this trip.
We went back into the city of Shanghai for the night. As you can probably understand, we were all very excited when we found a Papa John's for dinner. We even found a Dairy Queen around the corner to get some ice cream for dessert.

We ended the day with a bang. We went to an famous acrobat show full of music, dancing and death defying stunts. It was awesome!
Kade (Kent's nephew) was able to get a picture taken with the motorcyclists that rode all together in a large steel ball.

Wow, what must it be like to live right on the water like that, or to live in one of those upstairs apartments with the narrow alleyway full of people right below & another apartment window 10 feet away?? Those gondola rides look like lots of fun, and all the FOODS? What an amazing experience you had!! Did you try the fried fishhead? I think that one soup looks like vietnamese mushroom soup.
