We had a great time with Colleen in Hong Kong. I tried to convince her to take a teaching job and move here. I don't know if she'll make the move to Asia but she is considering living abroad in Ireland. That would be very exciting!
She came to visit during one of the hottest months of the year so as I mentioned our sightseeing was spaced out with lots of stops for food or drinks. We weren't even hungry a few times but just wanted to sit in the air conditioning. :-)

Heading to visit the Big Buddha
We almost literally melted at Ocean Park. Can you spot us in the photo? Why did I wear pants?
Venetian Macau
Beer on a stick!
Cool exhibits at the Science Museum
In addition to checking out the sights of Hong Kong during the day, we had some fun and crazy nights on the town. It was here in Hong Kong Colleen was introduced to the Flaming Lamborghini. If you haven't had one of these yet, boy are you missing out. The glass is filled with some crazy alcohol concoction and a giant bottle is placed on top of the glass and doused with liquor. The top is lit on fire and you have to drink up what's in the glass before the fire reaches the bottom. She obviously really enjoyed it!
We hope she'll come back to visit soon. What a fun two weeks they were! :-)

I guess Colleen is the "big" sister. HA! I'm so funny.
