Zhu-jia-jiao











We visited Zhu-jia-jiao today, which is a "water city" outside of Shanghai. It is a beautiful place to wander through the streets. I helped Noah find pearls for his future daughter, and the group enjoyed sightseeing in the city. We took a boat ride, and saw spectacular views of the town. We also toured Shanghai Museum, where we learned about Chinese history and culture. We had a lovely farewell dinner, where Melanie B gave us beautiful gifts and she told us the "one word" she thinks about when she thinks about all of us. She told me my word was "adventure." A few members of the group sang a song about the trip, and then we all went to a place to sing Karaoke. Songs such as Sweet Home Alabama, Jambalaya, Born to Run, and Just a Gigolo were sung by incredible members of our group. Who knew teachers could be such showstoppers?
