Happy Fourth of July!

We spent the day at the beach, Repulse Bay. Repulse Bay is located a short bus ride from Central Hong Kong, but feels words away. It was hot and we rented an umbrella and bought beach toys all for $10 US dollars, not bad. Hoyer wore his red, white and blue, but we didn't run into any other Americans. There was a fourth celebration at the American Chamber of Commerce but it was sold out before we even knew about it. We had a great time as a family and celebrated America all the way from the South China Sea~

So Hot!! See Hoyer's sweaty little nose? Only ice cream could cool him off!

On the beach!

Primarily an upmarket residential area, sun-drenched Repulse Bay has a relaxed resort-like atmosphere. The wide, wave-lapped beach is popular with locals and visitors alike and great for sandy strolls in the early morning when the sun is up and the sunbathers are out in force, or at sunset when all is at peace.

This crescent-shaped stretch of sand is one of the most beautiful beaches in Hong Kong. The beach features a lifeguard clubhouse built in traditional Chinese style. Its ceiling is decorated with magnificent swirling dragons. Towering twin statues of Kwun Yum and Tin Hau, both protectors of fishermen dominate the picturesque gardens that lead down to the beach.


PS- Hoyer now answers the following question:
Me: "Where do you live?" Hoyer: "Chi-Na"
