Hello Great People,
The school year is winding down and I am in my annual downward spiral from high to low stress. Hard to think anymore so I am doing a lot of cleaning. This week was highlighted with Elsie's birthday on Tuesday, June 21. Elsie turned 21 and I took her and Noelle to Sai Kung to celebrate at one of the great seafood restaurants there. They are very unique in that they keep all their food live and thus fresh in outdoor tanks and aquariums. You choose what you want and a guy/girl starts gathering from the tanks/aquariums and within half an hour you have a great meal. We had lobster, crab, shell fish, fish, oysters, and clams. It was messy, it was tasty, it was great. Few of us can say we celebrated our 21st in Hong Kong and I know Elsie will remember her 21st for always.
On Thursday Noelle headed back to the states so my apartment seems a little bigger now. On Saturday Elsie and I rented bikes and headed to Tai Po Waterfront Park. It is an amazing place with great plant life, a rose garden, an insect house, and observation tower. There is also a big field where many people fly kites. Elsie and I laid on the grass for half an hour and watched the kites dance in the sky. Some of the kites were incredibly high.
As usual I am looking forward to summer and I am planning to explore the Hong Kong territory more in depth, spend time at the pool, and do plenty of nothing. Next week Elsie and I are in China on a mission trip so the blog will be a little late, but don't despair I'll get something on as soon as I can. Till then God bless you all and enjoy your week.
Love adios and peng on
