Hello My Great Ones,
The school year is slowly winding down. The humidity and heat have started to kick in, which means the air con (air conditioning) is on! Last week I had to take my kids inside, because my school has no inside gyms so we do everything outside, to COOL off! After a five minute cool down in the air con'd room we went back out into the sauna heat.
On the weekend however it cooled off a tad and I took a little excursion on the Cape D'Aguilar Road which is located on the east end of Hong Kong Island near the funky, California like small village of Shek O.
The road was a welcome respite from the crowded madness that is Kowloon and Hong Kong. No people, quiet, great views, nature, clean air. It was great. The views from the road were pretty spectacular.
The road itself wound through a jungle.
There was some interesting plant life. A Hibiscus bush and these white leafed things.
Other sights included wild dogs. Unlike in other places the wild dogs in Hong Kong are friendly. Where ever there is some wilderness in Hong Kong you are bound to run across some dogs. Many were left to fend for themselves by owners who transferred out of Hong Kong. Rather sad really, but somehow they survive.

There were some interesting rock formations along the road. Pretty amazing really.
The views from the road were great and there was a place where one could see several eagles, hence the nom, parlez vouz Francois nest pas, Cape D'Aguilar. Or is that Spanish. I don't know… Anyway the eagles floated on the ocean updrafts and looked like they were enjoying the view from on high. Sadly I could not get a good picture of them.
Later I went to the beach at Shek O and took a shot of some of the rocks at the base of the Cape. It was a nice day and I took lots of time to pray and think and enjoy God's creation. He is great! Thanks for your prayers and your thoughts for me. They are helping and I am very grateful for them. Till next time. God bless you! Love adios and peng on!
