The Latest and Greatest

Hello all! Here is a misc blog of sorts. I wanted to catch up a bit before our trip home for the holidays. I'm sure we'll have many more pictures to share in 2010.

Love and hugs from Hong Kong and Happy Holidays!!!

Thanksgiving 2009

To avoid being homesick a big group of our friends got together on Thanksgiving evening to enjoy some French food together. Even our Aussie, Kiwi, & British friends helped us celebrate! We went to a private kitchen near our flat that serves great food including a huge seafood platter as the first course. Yum! Poor Chris was traveling for work and spent his Thanksgiving in Seoul, Korea with work mates. Don't worry, I saved him some pumpkin pie. Of course I made Chris and I a traditional Thanksgiving meal over the the weekend with all the classics!

New Territories Tour

Chris and I went on an all day historical tour of the New Territories with a local historian. We were able to explore existing old walled villages, temples, and other historical landmarks just minutes away from modern downtown Hong Kong. We went up almost to the border with China.
