Sister time!

Upon returning from Moganshan, Michael and I dropped Rick and Jill off at the airport and picked up my crazy sisters, Angela and Emily. They only stayed for a week, but we had a fabulous time! We visited the yu yuan gardens, spent a day at the expo, listened to a lively fusion band at our favorite jazz club, Brown Sugar, mingled with the crowds on the bund, and even met up with Elisa, our Mandarin teacher, for some Mandarin/English karaoke!

Three sisters at Yu Yuan, lookin' fine!

Angela and me goofin' off.

Ditto.

Sisterly love.

Sisterly love, take two.

Don't ask me what we were doing...

The Bund: bright lights and skyscrapers across the river.

I really like these photos. Something is off, but it looks artsy...

Me with the best Mandarin teacher in the world!

Beltin' out "Soul Sister" with my sisters!

Yes, Angela wore her new scarf EVERYWHERE that we went...

Bella felt left out.

Besides, my blog is never complete without her infectious "grin"!
