Our First Hike!

There is a hiking trail right behind our building. We can see some of it from our apartment. We decided to take Cam's truck. We had fun pushing Cam in his truck until we had to walk up the stairs. Eric ended up having to carry the truck above his head up the stairs. I had to carry Cam. We started learning we are really out of shape. By the time we got to the top of the stairs we were tired and still had the rest of the hike to go.
 
 
Once we were walking Cam thought it was fun to push his truck himself, which was good for us. :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Our view of where we live.
 
 
Our views on the way up.
 
 
The green building on the right hand side of the picture is the school the boys will be going to.
 
 
View of the Macau airport.
 
 
We live on the Taipa island of Macau. Here is a view of the Macau island of Macau.
 
 
There is a bridge that will connect Macau to Hong Kong. Here is the start of the bridge on the Macau side. That is going to be one really long bridge.
 
 
This is a view of the "island" they are making. There are boats that bring a ton of dirt, pour it, then leave to get some more dirt. It is amazing how they can make an island like this. I have heard that is how most of the Taipa side was made, especially where the Cotai strip is. Soon there will be a bunch of residential buildings in this view. Also, on the right side of the picture is mainland China. We cannot go there unless we have a special Visa.
 
 
After we walked up to the top we found out there was a park. The boys were so excited to be able to play after a long walk.
 
 
 
 
 
 
The pretty part of the park.
 
 
We were glad to be home after our walk up and down the hill. I am pretty sure all of us took a nap afterwards. It was a fun Saturday morning!
