Today we were free to explore until the afternoon, when we would pick up Lilah-Kate's passport / visa and leave for Hong Kong. We got off of the beaten path (whole new meaning with 14 million people a day on the path...) and explored a residential part of our neighborhood. The walkways were very narrow and were obviously off limits to motorized anything. We came across some grandmothers shooing a cat from their house and saw other interesting sights. After having some lunch, it was back to the hotel for a rest, but Lilah-Kate was feeling playful, so we just let her because we were going to be in a van for a while in the afternoon. She had a lollipop and made me some lolli-soup!
We arrived in Hong Kong to stay with Brent and Deborah Seay and had a wonderful Mexican meal (extremely rare in China and a great treat!). Deborah gave Lilah-Kate a little baby doll which she fell in love with immediately. She was all smiles for the entire evening, which is the longest time than we have seen her in such a cheerful mood. I think she was glad to be in a family environment and see the Seay children and not be in a hotel room. We were all thankful for this oasis before heading for home! Thank you Seay family for having us, it was delightful!
