I'm back from a whirlwind trip to Hong Kong. It was my first time in HK, and after being in China for 3 months straight, I was like a country bumpkin in the big city for the first time. "Wow, look at all the people waiting for the light before crossing the street!" "Wow, look! There's no garbage on the roadside." "Wow, look! Nobody is spitting on the street!" "Wow, babies in diapers!" HK has EVERYTHING. In HK you can buy ANYTHING: things that I had resigned myself to requesting when my parents come to visit, things I had resigned myself to living without because they would be too heavy in my parents' suitcases. So, I bought refried beans in a can, muesli, dry chickpeas, oat bran, and Beth's gingersnap cookies (they have Beth's cookies, holy crap!).
On the first night, we had Mexican food and margaritas. The next night we had Indian food. The next night we had bar food, which ended up being hard cider and fried noodles for me. It was good though. I got a sandwich at City Super for the ride back. All food that we can't get in our normal environment.

I am anxious to see comments from the girls. Did you see Bilbo on your travels?
Nothing like travels over the rainbow to make you yearn for home Dorothy.

Going a little crazy for comments? Yes, indeed, crazy for coco puffs. You know, can't just eat one. Anyway, your uncle JF is sleeping and I am reading all of your blogs. Beth, it is like on the top 10 list now of books I ever read!

I'm here. It's taken me long enough. I've been reading for about 30 min. and only now realized there are comments here... Oh, well. All very interesting. Reminds me of the summer I spent in Germany in '83.
