On the ground in Chicago

Yea!  Almost home. 

Good day

We went to the Shanghai Museum and Silk Museum. Then went shopping in the market and a few went to the top of an 88 story building to get a good view of some of the over 6000 skyscrapers in Shanghai. We just finished dinner and are heading to see acrobatics. Then bed and saying goodbye to our friends from Utah and CA. They head to the airport a few hours before us in the morning.
