We're here!!! We landed in Hong Kong last night after a 15 hour flight over the North Pole and touched down on the other side of the planet. The flight was fine except that Mike has bruises on his knees from where he had to wedge in behind the seat in front of him. Today we toured Hong Kong. It's beautiful. It looks beautiful, it smells beautiful. We've met so many nice families who are also getting kids, as well as some who are getting their second or third. Tomorrow we fly to Jaingxi and will finally have Luke after so long.
Here's some pictures of what we did today!
Geography here is otherworldly. Our hotel is next to a tiny little mountain, and old folks were doing Tai Chi in the park. Our hotel is next to a River. Gorgeous!!!
This is Casey overlooking Hong Kong on Victoria Peak. Buildings are close togther and super high. Like New York only with skinny little skyscrapers.
This is Stanley Market which caters to us westerners. They sell lots of big clothes, for us big people. More Hello Kitty than one could ever want! Oh yes, and we saw Jackie Chan's house!
This was our favorite part. We took a boat ride on Hong Kong Harbour. Some of the old fishing families live on house boats for generations and do everything there. This dog barked at us like we were in his yard.
