Letters from Hong Kong - #8

The weather seems to be getting a little cooler, but highs are still in the mid-eighties, which is a little too warm for me. With this warm weather comes foggy conditions almost everyday.

Yesterday we had lunch Le Solteil (the sun) in the Royal View Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui with Helen and Sister.

This is a shot of the restaurant in the hotel.

Helen gave this fan that she made to Jenny. It is a beautiful fan with beautiful Chinese Calligraphy. Helen and Jenny have been friends since grade school and still the best of friends, which absolutely amazes me. They live about 8000 miles apart and still managed to talk to each other on birthdays, holidays and other special occasions. Helen's kids, not kids anymore, call Jenny Auntie Jenny and our Peggy call Helen Auntie Helen. As you can see, they are family! 

Le Solteil is a Vietnamese Restaurant and a good one. This picture only shows the appetizers. Once I got into eating the noodles, spring rolls, and other delicious items I just forgot to take another pictures!

Another shot inside the hotel. Years ago the Family use to come here often to the Chinese Restaurant beside the scene above.

Another shot of the beautiful ladies beside the fountain.

As I was walking out of the restaurant I notice this case of Shanghainese Crab on display. This is the season for this expensive delicacies.
