Photojournalism

As promised, a few photos from our trip. Beginning in Macau, this is the ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral in the beautiful, pedestrian-friendly, Portugese old-town.



Exploring the market streets surrounding the old cathedral, we found this temple surrounded by paper lanterns. We thought the Lantern Festival was on the 15th day of the 1st Lunar month, so we're not sure of the occasion they mark in October. But awesome, all the same!



This is the Macau Tower. Although you can also climb to the top of the cathedral, the top of this one offers better views... and bungee jumping.



Looking down onto Macau, you can see what a strange piece of land it is. A skinny peninsula off of China, with the mainland visible there on the far left. It is also a few islands, directly behind the photographer.


Moving onto Hong Kong, we spent a morning wandering the flower markets and bird gardens and markets of Kowloon.




And another day hiking on Lantau Island. After a long ride up the cable car, we were on nearly equal footing with this Buddha, and ended up hiking a little ways past him, deeper into the forests.


Our deeper into the forests led us to The Wisdom Path, a great viewpoint and a lovely spot for photos.
