Eli starts preschool in two weeks. That means for now he's home with us all day. Thus Allison's Academy for Troubled Youth currently has a rather scattered schedule. It's hard to get a lot of schooling done with El Diablo (as Grandpa Charlie likes to call Eli) on the loose. So we did the best we could for a few hours this morning. Then it was time for a field trip. After an aborted scooter outing (we lost a nut from the Pleasant Goat scooter), we decided on a bigger adventure.
We went here:
 |
| The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel -- Lonley Planet lists it as #623 of 626 things to do in Shanghai... |
We don't care what Lonely Planet thought of it, we thought it rocked!
It's basically a quick, but extremely odd, way to travel between the two main parts of Shanghai -- Pudong (where we live) and Puxi (i.e. the Manhattan of Shanghai). There are awesome views on both sides of the tunnel.

| At the base of the Pearl Tower on the Pudong side. |

| View of Pudong from the Bund in Puxi |
 |
| Say "smile" to Eli, and he does this every time. It never gets old. |
 |
| Is that a barge full of coal? |
Then we came home and had Dominoes pizza delivered to our door. Haven't done that since the 1990s. It was delicious.
