Art in Zhu Jia Jiao











With Elaine visiting family and friends in Boise over Thanksgiving, Ben decided to take a trip to Zhu Jia Jiao, a water city one hour west of Shanghai known as the "Venice of Shanghai".

Traveling solo, my expectations weren't too high...I thought I'd just stay a few hours, look around and go home. But on a boat ride I met some nice art students from Shanghai University. We ended up having lunch together, then sketching by river until dusk. What a pleasant surprise!
