Smorgasbord of Fun Times

Hello all!  It’s about time that we share with you a bit about our goings-on from the past several days.  The parents’ visit continues, and thus, our photo journalist–Wayne Drake–is still in house, and so, you guys get a bird’s eye view of our lives! 

So, let’s see.  These pics start of downtown in Wan Chai and Central Districts of Hong Kong Island, where we attend church.  After service, we headed up to the Mid-levels.  This is an area of HK island that is accessable by escalators upon escalators—just when you think you’ve reaced the top, you find you are at another escalator that takes you even higher!  Once up in Soho (a super-trendy area full ofe great restaurants, etc. that sort of resembles L’ville’s Bardstown road area, only in levels) we ate at a Mexican Restaurant called Taco Loco.  It was ever so tasty and Jason comments, “They had some good ole’ nachos….like to go back there again sometime!”

Other photos here detail an afternoon visit to Causeway Bay (also located on HK island).  We went over to the marina and checked out the skyline from the water’s edge, had some Haagen Dasz ice cream (always a good idea), and stood in Hong Kong’s premier New Year’s Eve spot–Time Square, HK.

Lastly, we have some shots of us at a local Chinese restaurant.  They have fantastic food and even better service.  They speak very little English, but luckily have pictures on the menu, so it all works out.
