Hong Kong - out and about on an long weekend.




On Monday we celebrated the turn over by the British to the Chinese 16 years ago.
It is marked by a wide range of events.  The most notable was a protest parade for anything you wanted to protest about.
Huge groups of people paraded through the Central part of the City for hours and hours.  And as the parade started we got our bit of a typhoon that was about 200 miles south of us.
I can't image how much water they got at the center - we got unbelievable amounts of water coming down and an amazing pace for several hours.  It at least brought the temp down a few degrees for a bit.
