Went over to the Kowloon Peninsula today.  Another beautiful day, and we went through the Art Museum, which was free!  Wish I could have taken some pictures of all the beautiful artifacts.  We then wandered down the Star Avenue to see the Dragon Boat Races they were doing in the harbor.  What team was competing in the next race?  University of Portland.  They even won!  We also had dinner at the IFC Mall and then went back over to Kowloon to see the city lights of Hong Kong.  Can't believe we only have two more days left.

Breakfast at Starbucks.
I got a signature sandwich, which was a surprisingly delicious
combination of egg salad, basil tuna salad, and a california club.

University of Portland team!

I did not envy how hot and hard this race must have been.
The temperature and humidity outside was brutal.

Dinner!  Congee and rice vermicelli!

The street by our hotel.  Yes, that is a Circle K.
