Hiking Dragon Back on China National Day, 10/2011

After what began as a tough day for some of our family, this turned into an amazing day on Dragon's Back on Hong Kong island. Can you believe that this is the most densely populated city in the world? Look at these views. This city continues to surprise and impress me.
A view of Big Wave Bay....
A slim and fit Mr. Serio...
I like this shot because with a little imagination you can kind of see the bumps in the dragon's back. Right? And oh yeah, the kids are touching AND not hurting each other.

Shekou International School X-C meet in Guangzhou

On September 24th, the SIS cross country meet competed in an invitational 5k in Guanzhou. Although we have a small team, we managed to snag a 3rd place for the boys under 16 division. Well done, Noah!

Victor and I are co-coaching along with fellow SISers, Brandon Little and Hillary Lauder. The coach to runner ratio is a two-to-one; this must be all the talk about small class size in the private schools...

Featured to the left is Cindy finishing her run with Renata next to her. Renata due to her summer illness decided not to compete in this meet. She did happily run the last 200 meters with Cindy, the last female finisher. Great shot, I think.

Below is our whole team. I have grown very fond of these high schoolers and one middle schooler and really enjoy spending time with older students two afternoons a week. Coaching staff rocks as well.
