Hong Kong sites

The Church Administration Building of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located at 118 Gloucester Road in Wan Chai on Hong Kong Island. This is where we go to church!


On the top of Victoria Peak overlooking the HK skyline. It's not the greatest picture, but you get the general idea. Here, we're with the Galke's. This was during Arvid's medical conference held here in October.



At 10,000 Buddha Monument. There are actually around 12,000 or so. Here are at least 8 of them - including a female one!






Grandma Peggy in Bird Market Heaven!


















Now she sits in our kitchen perusing the guidebooks to see if there is anything she missed. (I don't think so!)







Peggy and Kelly shop on Fa Yeun Street. Maybe you'll get a sneak peek at your Christmas presents for next year...






This is a view out our living room window. What you don't see if the view to the left - of the South China Sea and the amusement park, Ocean Park - and to the right - Victoria Peak.








Kelly and Peggy pose in front of the IFC2 - the tallest building in Hong Kong (for a little while longer...)










Arvid and Peggy in Hong Kong Park. They're on a path that leads them directly under a waterfall. It's beautiful there!









Hiking on one of the hundreds of trails in the area. This one is in the New Territories. Now don't you want to come visit???

Sailing, Sailing, over the bounding Main...

Here we are on our sailboat cruising around Deep Water Bay in the South China Sea. Now how exotic does THAT sound???

"Land Ahoy!"

Nan Liang Garderns

These Chinese Gardens opened very recently. It's a beautiful place - with Bonzai Trees, petrified wood, koi ponds, Chinese buildings with beautiful architecture (and models of that architecture), museums, a Buddhist Temple, and lots of other great sites. You'd think you were in China or something!

Monkey Mountain

In December 2007, we took a couple of trips to "Monkey Mountain." It actually has a Chinese name, but you'll see why we fondly call it such. Grandma Peggy was wild about the monkeys and their antics. She loved being right there in the middle of them. It was so fun!

Missionaries

In July 2007, we took David to the MTC (Missionary Training Center) in Provo, Utah - bound for his mission in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The picture is the current/former missionaries from our family. Arvid was in Louisiana and Mississippi, Travis was in Panama, Sterling was in Chile and now David joins the ranks moving to Asia (and a new language).
