HKG139: Transpo and Mackies

today was a pretty quiet day, but we still managed to use four different transportation systems today : bus, train, ferry, and taxi.

this morning, we headed over to TST to pick up a pink squeaker dolphin toy to send to our friends in chicago. one of the girls lost hers in a taxi after our day out on the Hong Kong Dolphin Watch. of course, it was imperative that we get new babies, too, so the kids got another small pink dolphin each. after that, we headed to macdonald's (mackies as some austrailians say) and had the BEST macdonald's experience we've had since we moved here. this one was not crowded, the service was fast, and the food was good! since the dolphin watch office was right next to the star ferry terminal, we returned to central by ferry. i think that the slow ferries are my absolute favorite way to travel around here. it can be so relaxing. the star ferry, in particular, is a favorite because it's open air (the speed ferries have closed-in lower decks that are freezing cold with a/c), slow, and very relaxing.

this afternoon, we headed out to the post office to mail some goodies to our friends in chicago and to mail a gift to the sweet, sweet lady who adopted our baby kitty.

kids at mackies. q was in a low-blood-sugar funk by this point, and thus the grumpy face.

quinn very quickly elevated his new toy, "dolphy," to the same status as his beloved trains.
