Shanghai ~ Thursday morning

I am starting to get behind in writing cause we have been going non-stop and when we drive, I wanna look out the window! 

Thursday in Shanghai was unforgettable! It was raining all day, but I think that might be everyday this whole week! My sandals turn my feet black when they get wet so I've had permanent black feet here ;)

Our first stop was the Old Town. It is a shopping area in Shanghai that basically looks like a very pretty Chinatown. Papi and this guy at work told me one of the best things here in China was the Shanghai dumplings, so I asked - and Old Town has a restaurant that serves the best ones. So I waited in line for about 40 minutes to get some. I was frustrated waiting sooo long but when you see all the locals waiting in line and ordering several boxes of them, you know they'll be good - and they were! They are dumplings with soup and pork inside. And you pop it in your mouth and the soup explodes out into your mouth. It tasted delicious and is a fun feeling I've never felt before. (No dirty minds, ok?!!!). 

Restaurant sign - but I got mine "to go" from a side window
