Buble, Lama Island and Kousherie

We had a very fun filled weekend.

(for your listening pleasure)

Friday: Ruthie (or Anne as she is referred to here in HK) and I went to see Michael Buble in concert. Ruthie was sad to find out that he is engaged to be married, so her chances at marrying him are getting slimmer *sigh* We had pretty good seats and got to sing all our favorite songs. Ruthie and I even had a sleep over at her house and I slept on what I think has to be the hardest mattress in the world!



Saturday: Brad and Rudy met us down in Central and we went on a ferry to Lama Island. Our pup has to be one of the best traveled animals in the world. He has been on planes, ferries, taxis and buses. We all loved hiking around, sitting on the beach and enjoying gorgeous 70 degree weather. We ate in the cutest little vegetarian restaurant on Lama and felt like we were back in Portland.

Sunday: We all headed to church and to our Sunday lunch spot of late (McDonalds, it is a bit scary how much we eat there now that we are in HK). We then went to a different church to meet up with some Egyptians who are in HK as part of their immigration (to some unknown western country) process. It was fun to talk Arabic! Then continuing on in the Egypt theme we had Ruthie and her two roommates over for dinner and make Kousherie (the national dish of Egypt, sorry Tyler).

We are off to Australia on Friday after work and can hardly wait for Spring break to start!

  1. I love reading your posts. I'm a bit jealous you got to see Michael Buble in concert, he's a favorite of mine too. Ruthie is all grown up! When did that happen?!! :) She's just as gorgeous as ever. I think the last time I saw her she was maybe 12? Wow how time flies. Have fun in Australia, can't wait to read about it!
