Snapshots From the Weekend

With our homegirl Alison out of town, we took up residence in her French Concession apartment and hit the town.  It was a beautiful weekend in Shanghai, and here are some snapshots from the weekend.

Dinner at Mercato on the Bund - this was our view. 

It was only just a few weeks ago that we finally found the mythical Avocado Lady in the French Concession.

A clear day for Shanghai. This is the view from my friend Jay's apartment. 

Just in case you needed a Sunday balloon. 

An alleyway behind boutique shops in the Concession.

I guess you are not going to keep hidden the reason you're going to the doctor. 

Beautiful new floors!

Check out the before and after!

Sponge Yoga- The Thailand Series

If I ever make a yoga DVD, one of these might serve as the cover photo.  Branch gets the photo credit, and Thailand gets the scenery credit :)  My form is actually a little off, but what you can't see is that the sand was like quicksand-- my standing-leg foot was sinking like crazy. It was harder to balance than it looks!

A Little Fuzzy Shanghai TIme

Our second group of visitors this year (woo hoo!!).  After Andy and Erin's visit (they were the first), we hosted Jared and Alexis after their week or so in Japan.  They stayed for a quick 2 nights in Shanghai before we flew down to Thailand.  However, we packed those nights with a ton of stuff, including a bar hop one night on the Bund (visits to the Roosevelt rooftop, Bar Rouge, and then Lost Heaven).
