Spring in Shanghai

While our friends in Vermont have gone from winter to summer and back to winter again, we have been on a lovely spring trajectory here.  Every day gets a bit warmer.  The willows in the park are getting greener every day.  The crazy flowering trees have crazy flowers.  And the air is getting tastier.

Matthew's home from work today, tomorrow and Wednesday for the Tomb Sweeping Festival.  I think he'll write more about that later.  This means we went on a family outing today.  We intended to go to the science museum but for various bureaucratic reasons (they wouldn't sell us a yearly pass on a holiday and we didn't want to buy tickets today and go back next week to buy a pass) we went to the aquarium instead. 

Big fish
Lots to look at
Apparently we don't read Chinese or English
Jellyfish
You take a "travelator" through a LONG tunnel underwater, surrounded by fish, sharks, rays, turtles.
And there were rides at the end
Rides for all ages

In other exciting news, look what we found at the corner fruit store:
