Friday

Last night after a day at ocean park and the Historical Museum we went back to the hotel for a little downtime and we all crashed except Tom. When I say crash I mean we all slept thru dinner and beyond. We all woke up early (5:30 ish) and went for an early breakfast and head out to the star ferry to go across the bay to Hong Kong Island. It's too early for Stanley market so we road the streetcar to Happy Valley (seriously). The Hong Kong Jockey Club is right there, and it's a huge racetrack/soccer/field hockey/park. There are a lot of British here so we don't stand out as much, although we must look American because we still get looks from people. While we were all sleeping Tom went out for a walk and came back having been fitted for a suit, and some shirts. Our plan is to go to Stanley Market and then hopefully to Victoria Peak, but it's so foggy right now you can't see the tops of the mountains so I don't know if we will make the trip. I'm looking forward to getting to Guanzhou. I would enjoy the sightseeing but I just want to be with Eliana, then who cares where we go!
Oh just an interesting observation, you cab get your eggs and sausage in a bowl of noodles and broth at McDonalds here... Litterally eggs and sausage in the bowl.. So all of you chicken soup lovers will enjoy the food!

I am with you Rhonda...I enjoyed the sights, but all I could think about during those 3 days before our Libi was birthed into our arms was being with her. What a LONG wait you have had! It sounds like everything is going well. I am glad that you got to rest. That is the great thing about being there a few days before. You will be in a groove when you are united with your little angel. Are you enjoying the food? Tell those brander kids to be adventurous! Thinking of you often and praying for you tons!!!! Amy
