Grammy's first day

Lulu's first real day in Shanghai. After lunch at our favorite local spot, Number One HotPot, mom, Nancy and I went over to the massage house for a foot massage. The morning had been spent standing and walking around the fabric mart. Now we entered into a beautiful traditional rock garden, took off our shoes and were given slippers to wear up the three flights of stairs to this foot massage room for three. Feet were soaked in rose petal water while a shoulder and neck massage were given. Then the luxurious foot massage. Mom kept us all laughing the whole time. She groaned and moaned and laughed and walked out like we were on clouds. It brought everyone back to life after their long flight and big shopping morning.


The next event was a wash and dry at the local salon for the week on the road.

We then had an early dinner and left for the train station at 6:00 p.m. for our overnighter to Beijing. The streets were jammed as it was a Friday night and the beginning of the National Holiday week. It took about 45 minutes to get to the railway station. Our pal Iris from the Mansion went with us. The train station was wild. Next blog will go into the train adventure.
