Katy and Gary live on the south side of Hong Kong in an area (Tai Tam) just near an area called Stanley where thre is a public beach and another city market. So after a little later start (hour) J&J headed out via Subway and Taxi to Shek O Beach as did the rest of the gang from Tai Tam.When J&J arrived they found David and Gary in the surf with everyone else enjoying a little shade on the beach. After a bit of relaxing, David, Katy, Gary and Jeff took a hike out to the point of the cove where there was terrific vistas looking back at the coast line on a clear sunny day (of course after lugging the camera everywhere for days we left it at the beach and thus no pictures). After scampering on some rock formations for awhile (boys must be boys) we headed back to the beach. Ah, Katy took a couple of pics!
We gathered at the beach to find Janie had bought Ice Cream for those who did not take the trek. We decided to pack up and crab some lunch. Like last night we did a family style lunch on the beach in an open air restaurant. The food and atmosphere was heaven. Of course we ate too much and decided to head back to Stanley on the winding, narrow mountain roads.
David, Lisa, Katy and Janie headed to the Stanley Market for one of the last shopping trips. Whew says Jeff! Gary stayed home to watch the kids as Jeff got some laundry done and updated the blog. Not too mention a cold beer on the balcony watching the view!!
After chatting for a while J&J headed back to the city and the rest had a bite to eat, with some after dinner chocolate.
Katy and Gary have been the most outstanding hosts - we are so lucky to have them, and 3 month-old Sophie and 2-year old Liam!! We were all tired so we hit the rack pretty early as we had another big day planned. This trip is going way to fast!!

Hey Dad and Janie,
That sounds so cool, wish I could be there with you guys! I played goalie in my past futsal game, and we tied 6-6!!! We played the other half of Adams team (supposibably the better half)! During the begging of the game I dove for a ball and hurt my arm so I played the rest of the game with sharp pains in my arm =[, and I also have a bruise the size of a watermelon on my thigh. Today (mon,nov. 24) I'm getting my script for the musical I'll report back to you with how many lines, songs, ect i have to do!
Love,
Logan
