Tying the knot~



This knot was on display at the Ancient village walk (half a mileabouts??) where you follow a path and visit about 9 different little "museums" on the way, which were really well done. And by well done, I mean surprisingly modern presentation on mostly historical objects, and no display cases with hedgehogs and toy tanks....(That was at the Sea museum at the amusement park) The funniest exhibit we saw was the last one, featuring a few rooms about "The china fly man" aka stunt man/actor/daredevil on a motor bike jumping tall buildings, mountains. Really cool!

This is the beach in Shi pu, 5 hours outside of Shanghai by bus. We came here for a wedding of timon's friend. This amusement park had rides and a ferris wheel, you could rent a four wheeler or a pony. People could buy swim suits and sandals... but no one was swimming. The water was coffee colored, to say the least.



Below is a view from the bridge at sunset! So beautiful!!




The wedding car!




Here is the lovely couple in a very fanciful stage. The Bride entered and the grom got on one knee and gave her flowers. They cut their cake, poured champange, and exchanged rings. They had an emcee in a pink shirt who mixed their names... calling the groom the brides name and vice versa... eek awkward pause. After that a delicious lunch banquet was served that was just AMAZING. Shi pu is a fishing town, so fresh seafood if their forte. Amazing!
