Winding Up Phase

 

As we decrease our personal belongings, clean the apartment, and prepare to pack our bags, I pause to add a few highlights of recent weeks. 

Finally, a concert!!  "Magnificent Mozart" presented a synopsis of Mozart's life and music with orchestra and solo performances.  The entire concert was just over an hour and delightful in every way.  The orchestra wore period costumes that created a feel of stepping back in time.

                        Proper social distancing was a must inside the theater.

    We await the performance and enjoy the scenes on stage – artistic murals of Mozart’s era.

    Several senior couples and a few from the area presidency joined in this delightful event.

Jelly fish are prominent harbor visitors during spring months.   The delicate, floating creatures appear graceful and harmless.

Watch out!!  The sting is deadly.  Norman, Rick’s swimming friend, “kissed” a jelly fish while swimming and emerged with swollen lips and serious scratches on his face.  

                       This is the dressing room in a sporting goods store.

               Rick emerges after trying on a swimming shirt (hoping to avoid jelly fish stings).

                       A night market seen from the overhead foot bridge.

We made it to the top of High West Peak.  Ascending the elevation hike literally took our breath away.  I counted steps during our descent – 1600!!!!  That doesn’t include the pathways and inclines, just the steps.

My camera looks down on the traffic heading into the harbor tunnel during the afternoon rush hour.

The Latimers and Ashes attended the community Cantonese Opera performance in support of Crystal, a talented woman who cleans the Church Office Building.

Rick takes a daytime stroll down Lee Tung Street.  This European section of town creates a feeling of celebration with or without the lights aglow.

These unique statues on the square make me smile.  We enjoy all that Hong Kong offers.
