Emerson misses your food already! (Emerson probably ate at the Itzcovitch’s house for dinner more than she ate at ours. She said Louise’s food was SO yummy. Louise is Britt’s mom and Erin and Brandon, too. Emerson’s best buddies in Montreal are Brit and Erin. Maddux’s good friend is their brother, Brandon. Louise is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. If I was to ever get in a fist fight with anyone, I would want her to have my back. That woman can kick some major butt!!!!) When we return, we’ll have to get together to do some more puzzles together while Jesse and Mitch drink beer. Good times!

Added info on the food: there are tanks and tanks of fish and other seafood. There are people standing behind the tanks in huge plastic/rubber aprons. They grab a fish and start cutting it apart so quickly. It’s pretty crazy to watch. They sell all parts of the fish. They also sell birds cooked right with their heads on and you can buy bags of chicken feet if that tickles your fancy. Hmmmm… haven’t tried those yet and don’t think I will.

As soon as Maddux and Lennon saw the double-decker buses and trams, they were hooked. I would say Maddux asked when we could ride on one every other minute. Look how happy he is here. This is our buddy, Clinton. He is such a good friend. We would always have a blast when he’d visit us in California. He has graciously given us his apartment for our stay in HK. We get to spend time with his dogs Augustus and Ripley, too. They love to snuggle and snore.

While we were playing at the park, we saw young and old people stretching, doing tai chi and yoga. One woman who was maybe in her 70’s walked up the the jungle gym and effortlessly put her leg up on the highest bar so she was doing a vertical split. Jesse couldn’t get the camera out in time. Bummer. She was wearing bright red pants and had on a pink shirt. She reminded me of my Gramma Ramona. She was awesome!
