Island of the Pink Dolphins

We are in Hong Kong this week visiting our friend Emily, who is working for the Church here for a year assignment. (See Emily below eating her frog legs and rice.) She is the perfect hostess, and Hong Kong is the perfect city. There are many reasons that we love it, first and foremost is that we saw a whole bunch of endangered pink dolphins the other day on our boat ride that cost us $2.50 -- including our generous tip. Please see photo at the bottom of this page...and NO those are not the pink dolphins, but a self-portrait of us speeding back to the island. (Please ignore Laura's $1 sunglasses, and Denise's comb over.)

The night scene above is from the Kowloon waterfront where we watched the "Festival of Lights." This is a nightly production in which lights on the buildings across the water are synched to music. Pretty cool.

Today we visited the Hong Kong temple for a session - a definite highlight!
