Lucky, Lucky me...Val from Santa Fe flew 12000 miles to spend 12 days in Beijing and Hong Kong. Jacque and Zoe hosted us in Beijing with a full-out tour of Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, 798 Art District, Great Wall and Ming Tombs--tours interspersed with some of the best food I have ever tasted including old Beijing cuisine, melt in your mouth Chinese dumplings, and Peking Duck. We saw the 2008 Olympics venues including the water cube and bird's nest stadium, Tianamen Square and had the best Chinese massage at Bodhi spa...what a feast for the senses is Beijing.

Our return to Hong Kong was greeted by drinks with friends at Coyote, visits to Chi Lin, the Peak Circle Walk, a day in Macau, Stanley and Temple Street markets and punctuated by a martini at Felix in the Peninsula overlooking Victoria Harbour...glorious.
