So we started out early this morning meeting the 50 new
Arrivals from the states in the lobby. They didn't have a chance to catch their breath and we had them on motor coaches ( fancy bus) and started our day. We have been to the top of the mountain on the hk side called Victoria Peak, ate at the McDonalds there. Then went by the harbour and rode on a sampan boat around the place where people live on their boats. Mom did great! The back on the bus to a jewelry factory ( man was I nervous!!!!!). But she resisted ( plus it helps that we have money !!). Then back on the bus and now we are sitting at an outdoor table eating dim sum and curry with a view of the bay. Stanley market is a tourist trap, but fun for mom to see. They are having long boat rowing races next to us. So that's it so far and it's only noon!!!!!!!

  1. I will run out of exclamations by the time you are too far into this trip:) That view is spectacular- and the floating boats are so cool. I've always wanted to eat on a floating restaurant. How did mom do on the water? how much time are you two able to spend together so far? You both happy? love you!
