Adventures in September and October 2020

 Man Mo Temple and our Anniversary

    Man Mo Temple is nestled among high rise complexes near the antiques market in Hong Kong.

            Rick stands at the entrance of this small temple.

The intricate roof décor tells its own story through multiple pieces or art.  Unfortunately, we must strain to view the magnificent details.


We smiled at this rickshaw that adorns the entry courtyard.  There was much here to remind us of China.

The mid-autumn festival is a time to honor loved ones with fruit.  Ribbons of recognition and prayer hang from the decorated tree.

Two lion statues mark the entrance to many buildings in China.  The pictured statue would be the male, as the front paw protects the world globe.  The female lion, not pictured, places a paw on the young cub.  We enjoyed viewing this tradition throughout China.  Now and then we see similar reminders in Hong Kong.

          Once again, the rickshaw appears in the background.

Hanchem Korean BBQ Restaurant – We chose this location to celebrate our anniversary.  Notice the seven complimentary side dishes that accompany our meal.  The vented grill indicates we will be cooking our own meat.

Thankfully, our server offers a hand in starting the flame and placing the meat and veggies on the grill.  We can handle it from here.

        33 years together!  I’m honored to share my life with this great man.  Bring on the decades!!
