columbarium visit

Today we visited the columbarium, the memorial hall, where Poly's dad's remains are.  It's at the Chinese Permanent Cemetary near the Lam Tin district, high up on a mountaintop.  A beautiful view of mountains and the ocean.  Poly's mom burned offerings and had a table of food and drinks set up for dad, and lots of incense.

I"m far behind in my blog.  I will probably have to catch up once I"m back in the US and can post more pictures.  Until then I'll just tell you the day to day events.

After the visit we, being me, poly, skye, judy, gary, becky, and vicky, all went down to Monkok.  I had to pick up a wristwatch that was being repaired.  At Monkok we split up and me and poly and skye went across the harbor to city plaza, where poly had to pick up some pants that were tailored.  then we ate vietnamese food at the food republic, and walked home.

yes, judy and gary arrived two days ago and are staying here at the apartment.  they will be here more than a month.  we leave in 2 weeks.

weather is hotter and more humid!  30 c, which is 86 f.
