Hong Kong with dear friends

We have arrived in Hong Kong after a comfortable flight from Ha Noi. Our dear friend Dayle had expertly arranged a driver that whisked us from the airport to their lovely home in the New Territories. It is wonderful to see Art, Maddie and Dayle and we look forward to several days with them before our return back to SF on Friday. We will celebrate a family Thanksgiving with the Smith-Bell family (yes, we're cooking a traditional turkey day dinner) and then face the 15 hour flight back to SFO with happy hearts and very fully bellies. (Dayle just read the blog draft and cautioned me that if the turkey is too big for the oven, then we'll have Chinese take-out or perhaps Peking duck instead!!!)

Here are some views from Art, Dayle and Maddie's apartment. The view is towards Hong Kong Island, tomorrow's destination.
