Rain, rain, go away!

        So our final full day in Shanghai and we are stuck inside!  From our room on the 15th floor it looks like sprinkles.  But from the ground it is a steady downpour.  The pool of course is closed.  Finally after noon I can get the boys up and out the door.  We go into the small indoor market within 2 blocks of the hotel, not much.  We go to a bigger 4 floor market, mostly jewelry, 1 floor tea and traditional medicines.  Nothing there either.  Boys all whiny over nothing to look at and wet out.  Fine lets go back.  Tao says lets try that last market.  It wouldn’ve been the mother load, but can we(meaning me) enjoy it(meaning shop), no!  Whine, whine, whine......So instead of being able to do easy shopping right next door to the hotel we retreat to the boring indoors and stupid iPads.
          It finally stops raining around 4ish but no one wants to go out.  Finally for dinner we walk many blocks away to the big lit up street with the modern stores.  We look for bathrooms and end up eating bad sushi from a rotating sushi restaurant.  The only bright spot in the day was DQ!  I got a matcha blizzard with chocolate  in it.
