Time to head home for peace and quiet as riot police and protestors start to gather in Tsim Sha Tsui. Praying it will be more peaceful today. #prayforhk #thisishongkong

Thankfully, we had to exchange some money at Chungking Mansions so we took the opportunity to celebrate Diwali at our new fav Indian restaurant. It was extra busy due to protestors supporting HK minorities. #happydiwali #Jesusisthelight #nomnom #thisishongkong

Tsim Sha Tsui (TST), not far from our church, has become a hotbed of protest-police clashes and has related graffiti everywhere now. #prayforhk #thisishongkong

October 27, 2019 at 02:12AM

Sunday afternoon stroll through Kowloon Park led us to a nice Koi pond to sit and enjoy in the 78 degree “cool” air. #naturelover #thisishongkong

Not sure what tomorrow will bring as HK protestors seem to be gearing up for a non-approved march tomorrow. These were pasted down on the ground entering our train station. #hkprotests #thisishongkong #pray4hk

A recent Hong Kong taxi driver of ours was sporting EIGHT smartphones running various taxi apps (6 of them easily seen here). Others have none and usually do not know where we want to go. Not all HK taxis are equal! #hktaxi #publictransport #thisishongkong #phonecrazy

More Shek Mun graffiti. I think, red left to right is: “Restore Hong Kong, Revolution of our time; Hong Kong people revolt!” I think black is “HK, add oil.” #hongkongprotests

October 14, 2019 at 06:31AM

The HK protest sabotage has been far away until the past week. Now, the station where I work has had glass broken and graffiti (says “iron party”, prob a play on words for iron rails and iron-fisted government). #hkprotests #prayforhk

Here are types of shells we found on the beaches of Bohol, Philippines. #cowrie #clams #coral #spiderconch #conesnail

Hudson was proud to spot this Blue Sea Star on “our” beach where we usually just see the Horned Sea Stars. Amazing to see such a blue hue in nature! #linkialaevigata #naturelover #hdoesg2 #bohol2019

October 11, 2019 at 07:54AM

A mysterious creature: another sea snake? Long sea cucumber? Sea eel? Octopus leg? Anyone know? #naturelover #mystery #bohol2019

October 11, 2019 at 07:52AM

A venemous Banded Sea Krait was searching for lunch while we explored the Bohol Sea. Fortunately, it does not like the taste of human! #wildsea #naturelover #bohol2019

October 11, 2019 at 07:50AM

A horde of black sea urchins, which we successfully avoided getting pricked by as we explored the Bohol Sea this week. Adios, you one-eyed meanies! #bohol2019

October 11, 2019 at 06:50AM

Another “lazy” day of walking and playing along the white sand Panglao beaches meant the boys again collected their horde of hermit crabs to play with! #hermitcrabhorde #fiestyones #naturelover #bohol2019

October 10, 2019 at 05:14AM

Here are the boys and Shannon treading over the coral reef cliff. Hudson called the scuba diver’s bubbles “sparkles” 😂 #balicasag #bohol2019

October 09, 2019 at 08:04AM

One more Tarsier pic to share just for fun. We have been thrilled to witness so much of God’s creativity first hand here in the Philippines. #naturelover #tarsier #bohol2019

October 09, 2019 at 07:26AM

We got to swim along a cliff of sea coral and see schools and schools of all kind of fish and tons of plant and coral varieties. The biodiversity was astounding! #naturelover #balicasagisland #bohol2019

October 09, 2019 at 07:06AM

Adding to our sea star theme for this trip, we saw these Blue Sea Stars on each side of our more familiar Horned Sea Star. #linckialaevigata #naturelover #balicasagisland #bohol2019

October 09, 2019 at 06:57AM

Incredibly, we got to swim with several sea turtles as they chowed down on seaweed, always with a cloud of fish following it around. #naturelover #balicasagisland #bohol2019

October 09, 2019 at 06:05AM

Here we are headed out to snorkel at Balicasag Island. The boys struggled a bit with snorkels at first but then got into the flow of things. #hdoesg2 #bdoesg1 #bohol2019

October 09, 2019 at 02:29AM

Our blue and orange (Go Gators!) boat out to Balicasag Island to do snorkeling with sea turtles and coral reefs. #gogators #balicasagmarinesanctuary #bohol2019

October 08, 2019 at 07:59AM

Here H is showing off another Starfish World. Notice the starfish in each of their own pools at his feet and B preparing a pool for the sea cucumber we found. #naturelover #hornedstarfish #seacucumber #bohol2019

October 08, 2019 at 07:56AM

We have been carefully avoiding stepping on these Long-Spined Sea Urchins while playing at the beach. And, yes, that is an eye stalk staring back at you. #creepyeye #longspinedseaurchin #bohol2019 #naturelover

October 07, 2019 at 08:27AM

Here is our view from inside Pangas Waterfall. It was amazing to get to explore this beautiful area as a family! #pangaswaterfall #secretwaterfallcave #bohol2019

October 07, 2019 at 03:55AM

This is a Tarsier, as small as your fist, and cute as an Ewok. We got to see one leaping around from tree to tree and others lazing about. #tarsiercorella #miniatureewok #bohol2019

October 07, 2019 at 03:53AM

We all thrilled in the waters of Pangas Falls, reveling in the natural beauty with no others around (big contrast to HK!)! Also, we all swam into a cave behind the falls, a big bucket list item of mine. #bucketlistcheck #pangasfalls #paradiseonearth #bohol2019 #naturelover

The Chocolate Hills of Bohol, formed by Arogo the giant’s tears as he cried for his lost love Aloya. Either that or karst limestone formations on clay 🤷🏻‍♂️ #giantsorgeological #bohol2019

October 06, 2019 at 08:47AM

A little girl saw the boys and I making a Starfish World for the starfish and made one adjoining ours. She one-upped us by having more biodiversity with this Blunt Arm Sea Star! #pentaster obtusatus #naturelover #bohol2019

October 06, 2019 at 08:44AM

Saw several of these “horned sea star” or “chocolate chip sea star” while we played in the Bohol Sea and even made a Starfish World for them to “play” in. #protoreasternodosus #naturelover #bohol2019

October 06, 2019 at 08:36AM

There are dogs, cats, and chickens running all around Panglao Island in the Philippines but the boys especially wanted these cute chicks to make it into our memory book for this vacation. #naturelover #chickennuggets #bohol2019

October 06, 2019 at 08:31AM

We had this beautiful view at Bohol Bee Hive Resort for lunch. The white sand beaches in the distance is actually where we are staying. #boholsea #beehiveresort #bohol2019

October 06, 2019 at 08:25AM

The boys played out in the Bohol Sea while Shannon and I ordered supper on the beach (fried spring rolls, garlic rice, vegetable noodles, and pork dumplings), all to the backdrop of a colorful sunset. #boholsea #naturelover #bohol2019

October 06, 2019 at 01:58AM

Here is the back of a “Trike”. Notice the space for luggage or small child 🤪. Also, each has its own verse on the back. #trike #praybeforeyoutrike #bohol2019

October 06, 2019 at 01:56AM

So the modus of transport here in Bohol, Philippines seems to be the “Trike”. Basically, a bike with a shell and seats welded on. #publictransportation #trike #bohol2019

October 05, 2019 at 10:20PM

We love a good beach and this Philippine beach is just a pair of minutes walk away. We plan to spend more time here, especially since there appears to be some good “street food” on the beach as well. #whitesandbeach #lowtide #bohol2019

This Harry’s View comic explains living in Hong Kong now. Everything is usually fine and peaceful until it starts to get dark, or 2pm on weekends. By those times, best to be home. #harrysview #thisishongkong #newnormal?

This 281-yr old Fuerte de San Pedro in Cebu, Philippines was a school from 1937-1941. How cool would that be! #fuertedesanpedro #coolschools bohol2019

Magellan’s Cross in Cebu, Philippines: after being the first to go around the world, Magellan planted a cross here 500 years ago. This memorial claims the original is encased inside. #spreadofthegospel #500yearschristianphilippines #magellan

October 01, 2019 at 06:37PM

And just like that, all the MTR trains are back up and running due to HK’s hard working night force! #richMTR

October 01, 2019 at 08:29AM

Most of the Hong Kong MTR system is affected by riots tonight, including our line. Thankful to be home safe right now. #peaceinhk #国庆快乐

October 01, 2019 at 08:25AM

A strange day: National Day celebrating one country we have love for yet have concern for; then our current home ripped with division and violence while we are headed out into the peace of nature. Pray for peace in HK and God’s hand on this. #国庆快乐 #naturelover #peaceinhk
