Beach!

The weather this Sunday was just amazing, so Gavin and I went to the beach at Stanley, on the southern part of Hong Kong Island. Adam was supposed to come along as well, but we couldn't wake him up when we left, so he stayed home. At the beach, we did what any sensible people would do and built a sandcastle:

Gavin, hard at work
The finished sandcastle - I swear, it was bigger than it looks!
The only thing more fun than building sandcastles is tearing them down, so of course we did that as well. We actually asked a group of little kids if they wanted to help us, but they said no... Either they were shy, or else we just seemed creepy. At any rate, once we started kicking at the sand, they were more than happy to join in!

We also found a small temple near the beach, which we explored:

Shrines + statues

Me standing in front of a tiger that was found in front of the temple in the 30s with a stupid expression on my face :)

All in all a good morning!
