HKG244: Llama Llama, Red Pajama

okay, i've got nothing about the adorable children's book, but i couldn't resist the title.

we went to lamma island (yung shue wan village) today and had a fabulous time. we had a fabulous lunch of pad thai, spaghetti, and steamed clams before we headed down to the beach. while we were at the beach, we met a fellow american who is in hong kong for just a few days before continuing on for a hiking adventure in nepal. we had a great time chatting with her and learning all about her upcoming trip as well as sharing a few tips about things to do in hong kong.

one of our favorite things about lamma is the many dogs we get to see and pet. today was no exception. we petted stray dogs, pampered pooches, and everything in between. we also went into an animal rescue organization that had many items for sale for fundraising purposes as well as a few dogs on the property. we also met several kitty cats ... all well-cared-for strays. we saw a whole litter of baby kitty cats...all plush, white marshmallow kitties. we had a ball loving on all of these animals. we found what i would think is possibly the most zen cat i have ever met. he never even opened his eyes while the kids and i were petting him. you can't get more relaxed than that!

it was a great day!

q buried. olivia was buried as well, but i was too busy chasing q to get a pic :-( the kids also buried josh, but again, i was too busy keeping q out of too-deep water to get a pic.

kinda blurry, but a funny sign in a restroom at lamma

before we left for lamma, q insisted on closing himself into waffle's soft-sided carrier. i swear this kid is a contortionist.
