Trip to Macau

Nate's birthday was last week.  I secretly arranged with the principal and Nate's secretary for us to take our one personal day we are allotted per year so we could go to a tennis exhibition in Macau.  Macau is a 1 hour ferry ride away.  Below are photos of some of the sightseeing we did around town on Friday.  I'll add tennis photos later...

On top of one of the forts.

The ruins of Sao Paulo.

A lovely church near the Senado Square area.

Lighthouse on top of one of the forts.

We stayed at the Venetian.  This is inside the hotel, where there were canals and gondolas.

Also inside the Venetian.

Our amazing room.

Luxurious bathroom.  

The room was practically the size of our apartment!

Beaches

These are a few photos from the beaches near us, Shek O beach and Big Wave Bay. It stayed hot enough to go to the beach and even swim in the ocean until about 2 days ago!



This is a poor quality photo because I was zooming in a lot, but notice how the girl is posing and the guy is taking her photo. People do that everywhere here- the beach, in the streets, heck even at McDonalds! Full out posing with no shame, like they're on a modeling shoot. It's very entertaining to watch.


This last one is a random shot of Nate when we were hiking from Tai Tam (where we live) to Repulse Bay (where the school is).
