Dao Feng Shan

Our home is on the side of a hill. At the top of the hill is a large white cross. I see the cross from the valley below all the time as I leave the Subway Station and start my short climb home. I had never been to the top of the hill where the cross is until this morning. I decided I would climb to the cross and have a quiet time.

 The cross says, "It is finished" in Chinese.

 This boulder says Huo zai Zhu nei or "Live in Christ".

 This is where I sat to have my quiet time. It was very special to sit here and see the cross while reading, praying, and journaling.

 Inside were pictures of familiar stories in the Bible from a Chinese perspective. This one was Jesus feeding the 5000.

 The Cross is located on a Lutheran seminary and retreat center. All the architecture is old Chinese style. This is the chapel.

Have I mentioned before that I don't like monkeys and that we see them from time to time? On my walk I saw this sign. It tells people how to be safe from monkeys. It looks as if I have a valid reason to be afraid!

Gecko

Look what I found in my shoe...

I don't mind. I think geckos are cute!!

Flower Market

A few weeks ago Niel and I visited the flower market in Mong Kok. This was the second time I had been there. I love walking the streets with Niel and looking at the flowers and plants.

We ended up buying herbs like cilantro, parsley, basil, sage. rosemary so that we could grow them and use them when we cook. We also bought two tulip plants to hang on our fence. Tulips are my favorite flower. It makes me smile every time I come home and see them.
