Kowloon and Science Museum

Today Kaaren took the subway to Kowloon to see the Historical Museum of Hong Kong - but it was closed so we visited the adjacent Science Museum . It was modeled much like the OMSI museum with everything interactive for kids to learn - except they had a terrific exhibit on dinosaurs which we very much enjoyed. Then we walked through some side streets on the way to our subway connection. We found an authentic Chinese restaurant where they served noodle soups in huge bowls - essentially a hot sour soup base and you choose things to add. They were delicious. Unfortunately, several photos I took today, including the soup, are not saved on the camera card and I have no idea why. I did change batteries and everything looked ok but apparently I was mistaken. So only a few photos today.

Then we returned to Stanley Park where we bought things for the grandchildren (whoops - shhhhh) and a few carry bags for ourselves. When we got home, Kaaren made pizza and she is now watching a movie - Lemmony Snickets - while Mark is on his computer and Elaine is on the phone with family back in the US.

I am still recovering from the pain of my tooth - after seeing the dentist yesterday, it doesn't hurt if I don't put any pressure on it, but still felt a huge headache last night and very fatigued. I'm tired today and will turn in early.

We managed to get ourselves from Stanley Park onto a bus and onto a subway and then a change of subways and walk to the Museum and back again. So we are learning the system and enjoying traveling and seeing sights together.

We are praying daily for all of you - your needs we know about and those we don't. I hope you are doing well.

love,

Dad
