The view from our rooftop. The sun is setting, or has just set, and this is looking north toward Nan Jing Lu, the major shopping street. The Ritz Portman is beyond our lane rooftops. The sky is blue and clear, and in the east. . . .
the full moon has been rising. Of course once again, this does not anywhere near capture the beauty and elegance of this site. To the left of the large rectangular building is the Pearl TV Tower. It is much clearer in the morning with the sun on it. It is on the river across from the Bund and sometimes feels like it is just a block away. More rebeautification bamboo scaffolding on the lane below. They have installed a security camera at our front gate, more lights in the lane, (it has heretofore been a very dimly lit, if lit at all, lane), paint on walls, steel doors scraped down and repainted, we are looking good!
Ridley left this afternoon for Miami, I had a teacher conference with Storey's teacher - tomorrow Paige. All good stuff. We dined out at Whisk with my friend Betsy and her daughter Lucy who is a friend of Storey's. Whisk is the ultimate chocolate adventure in town. Before indulging, they also provide pretty good pizzas, salads, gnocchi and risotto, all of which we tried. Another half day of school tomorrow, another conference, another day in Shanghai.
