The Bund--Sunday Brunch--Birthday Dinner and Attention Wal Mart Shoppers!

Time for shopping Louie!   He is getting used to walking around the city but hates bicycles, vespas, and the random hacking/spitting of the Chinese everywhere---YUK~!  I do not think I will ever get used to that, it makes me nauseous.

We think this is a sculpture of Lou's chinese ancestor.

This area in central Shanghai is called The Bund.  The Huanpu River divides the city and on one side of the Bund are buildings that date to the 1840's and this view is of modern Shanghai.  The tallest skyscraper is the Oriental Pearl Tower. If you have seen the new James Bond movie, this area was in the opening shots.

 This is the opposite side, or old Shanghai.  The British built the first office building here in the 1840's.

The word bund means "embankment along a muddy waterfront."  But today it is far from muddy.  The

paved walkway along the river is huge and there are a lot of people milling about.

 OK---I tried to be cute...

Lunch at M on the bund---Yummy and pretty.

This is only part of the huge flower wall around the walkway on the Bund. Each flower is in a individual pot.

                                            Sunday brunch....I am not weighing myself again EVER!

The Lobster was perfection!

Birthday dinner for Dennis at a place in the French Concession called Ambrosia.  The place used to be the home of Chang Ki Shek.

Shark fin soup-----it was actually good.  Tastes like chicken :)

Happy Birthday Dennis!!
