We've Arrived!

We are enjoying our 1st full day here in Shanghai. We arrived at about 5pm last night (Tues night) after a 12 1/2 hour flight from San Francisco to Shanahai. Kecia and Patricia are staying with Frank for a few nights. Melanie, Ryan and I are staying with Elmer, who is out of town, so we have the place to ourselves with his maid and dog. Amy is staying with Helmut and his family. Both Elmer and Helmut are German. Ryan, Melanie & I went to bed early and woke up fairly early on Wed morning. Ryan took a jog around the neighborhood, and we all had a breakfast of fried eggs, toast, meats, cheeses and coffee. Then, Lillian came to pick us up and we went to the textile market and Melanie and I picked out fabric for some outfits. I am getting a dress made, and Melanie is getting a dress and coat made. We get to pick them up tomorrow. Then, we went to the Raquet Club, where Lillian works, and had lunch and got to check our email. We are on our way now to get massages and then a welcome dinner with the Shanghai Rotarians.

We have a full schedule coming up, and will post some pictures and more details once we get better settled.
