North Carolina

Here are the last photos from our trip home. As you'll notice, I was very bad about taking photos with the fam. Must do better next trip home.

First stop, the NC Zoo, located conveniently close to my parents' house.

We got to watch the seal feeding/training


Jaba the Hut's stunt double


Real flamingos, much more beautiful than the plastic variety



Hairy African river hogs





These next two photos are from when we went out to dinner with a group of our friends in Durham.



The last photos are from Sally's wedding, the day before we left.

The bride and groom high five.


First dance

We've been back in HK for a week now. On our way home in the taxi, our driver burped (very audibly) three times, and that was when we really knew we were back. We were very happy to find that our apartment was not taken over by mold while we were gone, thanks to the two dehumidifiers we left running while we were gone. Some of our friends were not so fortunate. Nate had to return to work immediately, but I've been enjoying this time to get things done around the house and so forth. I'm organizing things, cooking a lot, cleaning, and sprucing up the house (curtains, plants, and maybe paint soon). One more week until teacher workdays begin...
