| Grace and Leo in Causeway Bay |  |
| Leo, Grace and Shelley in the Tram (US$0.26 makes this a great bargain ride) |
 |
| Steve and Grace on the Tram |  |
| Hiking on Hong Kong Island, near our apartment |  |
| Grace enjoying the personal
gardens put up around the trail |
 |
| Retaining wall on the trail; the
government uses concrete to hold back the soil and to prevent erosion. This trail follows a water conduit, and is cut in to the side of the hill. |
 |
| Grace by the waterfall; note the
potted plants cemented into the rocks of the waterfall, done by the people who keep their gardens on this trail. |
 |
| Hmmm.... what does this sign mean? |  |
| Grace found this tree very
interesting - see the small "berries" attached to the trunk? |
|
| The trail follows along a water
conduit, covered with concrete slabs |
 |
| A view from the trail - showing a
cemetary on the west edge of Hong Kong Island. Grace remarks that this land must be worth some serious money! |
 |
| Bamboo used for the scaffolding
during the construction of a new building. The green mesh surrounding the poles is to keep debris from falling away from the building. These usually survive the typhoon-strength winds. It is very impressive to see these constructed by workers in flip-flops! |
 |
| Grace plays in the train; this
park is just down the street from our apartment. Unfortunately, we don't get to play on the train very often! |
 |
| Walking through Hong Kong Park,
with a view of downtown in the background |
 |
| Leo watches the Baboons swinging from the ropes |  |
