Hello Great Ones,
O and O also known as Oma and Opa, Alf and Helga, Henning und Helga, Mutt and Vat arrived on Wednesday night after spending a week in Beijing and Shanghai. I have been their personal tour guide and here are the highlights so far:
Thursday- Kowloon Walled City Park, Bird Market, Flower Market, Goldfish Market, Nunnery and Vietnamese restaurant.
Friday- Hike to Amah rock through a jungle, Historical Museum, Ladies Market
Saturday- Big Buddah, Seafood at Sai Kung
Sunday- Easter Sunday service at church. Guest speaker was a 6'7 290 lbs black preacher from
the US of A who preached up a storm that left us inspired, but exhausted. Then we took a trolly ride through Hong Kong, and rode a boat to my future retirement place: Lamma island. We ate rice with seafood and celebrated O and O's 52 anniversary.
So we have done a few things. I am going at senior speed so O and O don't get too worn out. As an extra bonus we have been watching Peter Mansbridge and the National, a day late mind you, on the computer, but it has been kind of fun since watching the National is what I do every time I visit O and O in Calgary. A little taste of Canada is sweet and when we saw the video of the snowfall in Edmonton we all felt a little homesick. Ha ha ha bad joke. Not really!
Alf has taken @ 5000 pictures, I do not jest, and we are always, "patiently," waiting for him on our travels as every five seconds he is taking a picture with either the small camera or the big camera or both. Helga has complained slightly about her back and knees and calves and pretty well every other muscle, but over the last, almost two weeks, O and O have walked a ton of miles, so I show understanding. Yeah, yeah I am so good. It has been nice having O and O and it has been nice to get my toilet seat fixed and my kitchen has been cleaned to level 5, when before level 1 was good enough for me.
Tomorrow we take it easy and visit an art museum and later we are going to head up to the peak. The weather has been kind of overcast, a rain patch here and there and it has been only plus 24 for a high. Yes, please send us notes of sympathy as soon as possible.
Take care and next week due to my not being around on the weekend you will have to wait a few days before the next entry. Wahhh. I will be in Kunming with a friend, but the next entry should be a gooder.
Happy Easter everyone and God bless you!
Dirk
