It was cloudy. It was windy. It was cold. Perfect weather for an outing! The senior group headed out to visit the Ping Shan Heritage Trail and then on to the Hong Kong Wetlands Park. One of the security men from the office left to work at the Ping Shan Heritage Trail museum, and today we asked if Wilson was there, and sure enough he was. We got to visit with him and he showed us around.

The Heritage Trail was easy to follow and had lots of fun sights and sounds, not least the butcher in the tiny town square that was using a torch to singe the hair off of a huge pig and his wife who was shaving the rest of the hair. Fresh meat just outside your door!

After finishing the trail we jumped on the light rail system and headed for the Wetland Park. They have a short movie about wetlands and it was warm, dark and comfy. Perfect for a short "pick me up" rest.
We walked all through the park, we didn’t see a lot of birds, but were very impressed with the park. It’s very well done.
Then we caught a bus home and were back in our own neighborhood by 5. Except for the very depressing gray skies, it was a great day.
