The Clampetts Go to Hong Kong

Today we took a tour of Hong Kong. We visited Stanley Market which was located right along the South China Sea --- in the "rural" area of Hong Kong. We rode water taxi or sanpan in the Aberdeen Bay. We drove up to the top of Victory Peak - the tallest mountain in Hong Kong (or at least until they chopped the top off and put the rocks and dirt in the bay. We ate a traditional dim sum meal which was very good. Later in the afternoon we walked around Kowloon Island and found Nathan Road which is home to 2500 shops. Then we walked along Hong Kong's Avenue of Stars which is located on Kowloon Public Pier. At 8pm there was a light show on the buildings surrounding the Hong Kong Harbor. The whole day was quite an experience for all of us. We really enjoyed our tour and seeing the different sights of Hong Kong. There are four other CCAI families that toured the town with us. For the past few months we have all gotten to know each other over the Internet so it was nice to be able to put their names to their faces.

Tomorrow we take a plane to Guangzhou --- the city where we will meet Addison! It is hard to believe that in two days we will have her. I wish Bob and Nathan could be here with us --- I know Bob would have loved the Dim Sum and Nathan would have loved all the lights, sounds and smells.
