David and Myrna's Latest Adventures: TEAM TAYLOR TOWERS!

This week we participated in a virtual 5K walk/run with Team Taylor Towers! This event was to increase Cri du Chat awareness! Our beautiful granddaughter, Taylor has Cri du Chat Syndrome or 5p- syndrome, a very rare genetic disorder. This activity was also a fund raiser to benefit the 5p- Society. It was a big success and so fun to be included while we are here in Hong Kong.

So TAYLOR......These pictures are for you! Thanks for asking us to be on your team!

Here is proof that we did the 5K and more...........

We began at our Harbour Front Horizon apartment complex in Kowloon......

.........and walked along the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade a mile and a half

or more to the famous Star Ferry pier.

Enroute we enjoyed seeing "The Avenue of the Stars" and David stopped to put his hands in Jackie Chan's, of course!

Then it was on to the ferry pier where we caught the "Night Star" over to Hong Kong Island.

We changed ferries and took the First Ferry to Cheung Chau Island to do some exploring.

The harbor there was full of colorful sampans and fishing boats

The local residents were preparing for the annual Tai Ping Ching Jiu Festival or Bun Festival. There is a big parade which features "Floating Children". This man is rigging up this little girl in a high seat with a foot rest and straps around her legs to make sure she won't fall off while "floating" in the parade.

We enjoyed a break in the shade while we munched on the island's favorite cuisine...
fish balls on a stick!

After lunch, shopping in the local market, and a walk to the beach, it was time to head back on the ferry. A few hundred other peole had the same idea!
