Hong Kong - Sabbath

Rhonda and I went for a brisk walk on the trail near the LaRue Villas. Our round trip is 3.2km. It was raining and very hot, when we returned we were wet with rain and soaked with sweat. We went to the early church service, and sat on the back row with Jeri and Bess. After the service I had to leave the new carpet and paint were doing a number on me.

Jeri and Bess had made a delicious lunch. We had cottage cheese loaf with no cottage cheese, baked potatoes, salad, and creamed corn.

We left for Stanley at 3PM. We walked down to turtle beach. There were groups of people practicing on dragon boats. The dragon boat festival is next Wednesday. The boats are long and narrow, the seat about 30 people side by side. They row out to a marker and then race back to shore. There is one person in the front that bangs on a wooden drum, and another person at the rear that steers the boat. We watched for several hours then took the bus back, we arrived at 6PM.



We left in the car for the peak at 7PM it was a 10 to 15 minute drive. When we arrived we almost decided not to park the car it was so foggy, but when we walked over to the observation area it was beautiful. The cloud bottom was right above us. The city lay below. We soaked in the sight for quite a while. We had thought of eating at one of the restaurants at the peak but decided it was so late that we would stop in the market and get some bread for sandwiches instead. I also bought a watermelon that turned out to be good. I also made a small stir fry with some long beans using some of Doug’s Indonesian soy sauce.
