This was a day with another trip that was a new experience for Sokly—a trip to one of the outlying islands–and then I ended the day with dinner with friends from Hong Kong. Click here to see the pictures.
Hong Kong Trip — Saturday P.M.
Sokly and I visited quite a few places of interest in the morning and then in the afternoon went to the pastoral center on the Kowloon side for the liturgy to begin the anniversary celebration. It was a good opportunity to see again old friends–former students when I was at the deaf school. Click here to see the photos.
Return from Hong Kong
I just returned from Hong Kong a couple hours ago (it’s 10:44 PM Tuesday night here) and there isn’t time to continue the updates today. I’ll post Saturday afternoon’s photos on Wednesday morning our time.

Pineapple Season
This past weekend the pineapple vendors were out on the streets again, another change in the seasons. IMHO, fresh pineapple bought on the street like this, is one of the best tasting fruits there is.
