A visit to the Peak in Hong Kong is probably the most popular tourist trip. Today was our sunniest day yet so we made the treck. We got a late start and as we waited in line for tickets (i am pretty sure that i have not waited in a line that long to go to the peak before) Jim read that on averge 8,500 people visit the peak a day. Whoa! I mean in the early 90's there was only one restaurant up there.The second one was finished in 95. What in the world was going on up there i wondered?
Well let me tell you...QUITE A BIT! There is now a new 5 story shopping and entertainment center at the tram station. It was HUGE and full to the brim with people and shops selling little chinese outfist and hats with pony tails. It was all there, every Chinese tchotsky known to man and a few new ones! We got out of there as quick as we could and headed accross the street to the building that used to house the Peak Cafe where i had celebrated my 25th birthday...
August and Evita were soooooo impressed. But they quickly changed thier tune when the ice cream came! We ran it off on the almost unused shady trail around the area. HK is so weird that way, insainly crowded in one area and then just a few meters on nothing. It was great.Oh yea, what about that awsome view!! World class.

Thank you Thank you. It is such fun to read about your adventures and your stroll down memory lane, and the picture are terrific. We will be anxious to hear all the other details when we see you at Eden in January.
I leave for Copenhagen on July 9 to visit a friend. Doug is staying home for this trip but we think we will make a trip to Mexico City in late October.
Keep posting the pictures and blog entries. We love them.
