Guyling and Li River

The day was so misty we were afraid none of the pictures would turn out, but we were excited that the mountains do show in the pictures. It is a beautiful area!






Hong Kong




These are some pictures from Hong Kong. The one from the bus was taken on our way to or on our way back from Stanley, a neat town on the other side of the island. The first one was taken at the light show that they put on every night for about 15 minutes to a half hour. It was really spectacular.

more from night of lantern festival

Lantern Festival Night

This is a extremely small sample of what it like around our apartment on the night of Lantern Festival at the end of the Lunar New Year. The fireworks have been going on for about 2 hours. These were lit about 200 feet from our apartment. The skies are literally filled with fireworks, and we live on the first floor with buildings blocking our view. It is an exciting night.
