Last Day Hong Kong

Not a lot new to report.  We slept very well but should have stayed up later.  I could not keep my eyes open by 8pm - jet lag and a bit motion sick from the tour bus ride- so I was awake at 4:30am.  The smells here are very unusual. The humidity and heat, pollution, etc all mix together and not in a good way.  We do have one good tip and that is to avoid Italian food, when you should be eating Asian.  They tried very hard but the chicken raviolli w/ mushroom sauce did not look, taste, or feel like any Italian food I've ever eaten!  Did not make us sick though so being thankful for the really important things.  Several of us met together this morning for prayer, which was really neat.  Dan and I got up before 6am and went for a walk/jog along the brick path next to the river. It was great to get some exercise though we were drenched from the humidity & sweat.  All along the walking/biking path there were local people exercising.  They walk or jog or stand and do different hand movements like armlifts etc  - just along any spot on the path.  It looks kind of like low impact aerobics.  Many were elderly men and women.  Many stared at us as we went by and they often frown so you wonder what they're thinking.  I'm walking w/ Mr. Elk (on his t-shirt, the only one he has as we forgot the others) so I think he looks tough.  Some walk along singing to themselves,which is an unusual sight for us.  Breakfast was another buffet of some regular bkfst foods but also rice, noodles, fried fish, "flour" things, steamed rolls& on and on.  I'll add a few more of our pictures. The only slight annoyance is I have an itchy rash on my arms and a few other places.  Two of the kids on the trip seem to have it too.  I think it's the heat & humid, polluted air- It burns the throat a little and we've noticed some people covering their nose/mouth or wearing masks -presumably because of this.
