China

Hello again. We went from Japan to China.  It was a quick trip, only two days at sea.  We stopped in a city called Shanghai.  There were so many pretty lights.  It is a big city.  Papa says it has 25 million people and that is five times more than all of South Florida, from Key West to West Palm Beach.  I just know there were a lot of people walking and driving.  It was cold so Mama made us wear coats.  Julian didn't like his coat.  He bit Mama.  Mama was not happy.  Me, Wolfie, Julian, Mama, Papa, and Cassidy (Julian calls her Sana) met a very nice lady who took us in a van around Shanghai.  She took us to a park called People's Park.  There were a lot of people.  On one side of the park everyone wanted to practice English with us.  On the other side of the park there were lots of older moms and dads with pictures of their kids.  They were trying to have their kids get married some day.  It was funny.  Then we went to a garden called Yu Garden. We walked around for a long time.  They are getting ready for their New Year so it was decorated with balloons and dragons and flowers. Then we went to a tea ceremony.  There was a lot of different teas for Mama and Papa.  The tea smelled good.  It didn't taste good.  Papa took pictures and a video and will add it to this blog.  We walked around a lot in Shanghai.  I was really tired both nights.  When I woke up today, we were sailing again.  We are heading to a place called Hong Kong.  It is in China, too.  I will write more from there.
