Since there’s not much to blog about right now--Chicken Pox is pretty boring--I thought I would start showing some pictures of our trip. Today’s slide show features part of our Hong Kong tour when we visited the Boat People. We rode in a small boat driven by a tiny woman who makes her living giving tours of the Boat People “village.” She has spent her life on a boat and since her husband died, no longer fishes. The Boat People live on these boats their entire lives and have for many generations. The city grew up around them but their lives have remained basically the same. The floating restaurant caught all our attention since it was so ornate. Once we saw the rusty back with yucky looking stuff being pumped into the bay we decided it was not where we wanted to eat.
My oldest brother lived on a boat for several years. I wish that I could share these photos with him but he died two years ago just as we were beginning this process. This slide show is dedicated to his memory.
