May 10 2007 - Xiamen Boat Trip


The best part of this day was meeting Luc's friend from Montreal, Mattieu (I hope I have the right spelling).
May 1st is a holiday in China - International Labour Day. But most of the country celebrates for a week. We went to Xiamen for the day before heading to Shanghai. Amber's friends organize an annual boat trip and she invited us. Max and I brought Catherine & Joe 2. The day was beautiful - hot and sunny. We left the dock around noon-ish and spent the afternoon chatting with new people while enjoying a few cold beers. The two boats 'parked' near an island and some people jumped in the water to cool off. The owners of the boat BBQ'd some skewers for everyone before heading back. I took a few pictures (of course) and they are posted in the photo album.
