We made it to Shanghai last night and got through customs in record time. Tim and I got to spend about 12 hours together before he left for the airport. He will be in Houston all this week.

Abi had two volleyball games this morning and between games I took my mom and dad to Carrafour (grocery store) for a little tour. My mom had a rough start to the day.... at breakfast she discovered that her sunglasses were broken and while we were at the grocery store she took a bad fall. She gracefully recovered from the fall....nothing broken....although she may have a few bruises tomorrow. We got her sunglasses fixed......they just needed a new screw. This evening we went on a walking tour of the gardens around our apartment and managed to fend off jet lag until all most 9:00. And now it is time to go to bed....
