Super Typhoon Rammasun

Well ... Our exciting day in Hong Kong was not what we were hoping for because of the typhoon. You gotta hate it when that happens. We went to Disney Land Hong Kong only to find out that no rides were open - that was a big fat bummer. With every road block we faced today we just kept telling Brig, "Happy Birthday!"  It is his birthday tomorrow. Nothing like a 14 hour plane ride, a three hour layer over, another two hour plane ride and a three hour drive home to help solidify the celebration.

As close as we got to Disney Land

So we headed into Hong Kong. It reminded us a lot of New York, just more confusing and crowded. We walked for hours. There is clearly a lot more money here than in mainland China. We found a Mazarati, Porsche and Lotus car dealerships. Not too far off from there we found a very familiar and happy place. 


Of course we went inside, hung out with some missionaries and got our bearings. 


Brig was having a blast as you can see


This helped perk him up

We took a ferry to another island. It was so great to see the city skyline. 



It was SO windy and rainy



We saw sone pretty incredible shopping. We've never seen so much money in one place ever. 


We took the metro over to see the big Buddah only to find out that it was closed because of the typhoon. At least we had the subway to ride. It took us all over and kept us nice and dry. We are exhausted and more than ready to be home. Sarah was an angel. She remained as cute and happy as can be. What is up with this kid?  We feel like we won the lottery with her. Tomorrow - America or bust!

Sarah puts herself to sleep by bringing her hands to her mouth
