Last Batch...

This will be my last post as the Rossi's are heading home!  Being able to put this together for them has been awesome!  It appears as though the Gentis and Rossi Families - China Trip Summer 2013 was a vacation of a lifetime!!  -Nic

"Today we headed out early for a day trip to Zhijiajiao.  This is a "water town " outside Shanghai. It took about an hour to get there. We started off walking over the bridge to get to town.  It was breezy today, so it turned out to be a nice leisurely walk."  -Robbin

"We walked and waked through the narrow streets.  There were shops that sold everything from fashion to fans.  We stopped at an art gallery and met the artist.  He sold Ying Ying's favorite kind of colorful paintings, so we asked him to paint some for the Kelly's. They came out great!"  -Robbin 

"Like any good " water town" there is a boat ride.  We took the boat ride all the way down the river and in and out of the small canals. It reminded us of Venice....slow and picturesque."  -Robbin  

"Here is a pretty view of he canal."  -Robbin

"Here is Tian thinking deeply.  I wonder what he's thinking about? Red Sox, orange soda, lunch....who knows."  -Robbin

"I wonder what Zee is thinking about?  Snacks, souvenirs, lunch..who knows?"  -Robbin

"The kids are soaking up the last bit of free wifi in the lobby before we leave.  Thanks to Karen's friend Nicci, for posting all our pictures, for us.  We appreciate all the time you put onto it, Nicci...THANK YOU!  It was fun to be able to share our trip with everyone.  Ying Ying is homesick today and can't stop thinking about nana and papa and their pool.  She also can't stop talking about Lilly."  -Robbin
