The International Boat Show Shanghai

The international boat show in Shanghai was held right across the street from our apartment building. Here's a picture of the convention center from our window. Saturday was such a nice day that we asked some friends to join us to see the show. Part of the show was outside and part of the show was held inside the convention center. The building is about 50 years old and was the last hurrah of the Russian/China partnership building something together. Can you see the boats in the picture above?

Notice the communist star in all the photos.




Here is where you filled out your form to enter the show.

Liz and Tony's second home. This is Tony's favorite sail boat and I have to say it is quite lovely inside. Very roomy. 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, almost like the apartment we are living in now only 1/3 the size!
Our friends Gaby and Julien. We found this little spot at the show, it felt like a German beer garden so we opted for a beer instead of a coffee. The weather couldn't have been better!
Tony's new 'dream' toy. He just stood in front of this little boat for 10 minutes and you could see him dreaming about the river and what fun he could be having!
