Big Buddha Day

Overcame my fear of heights on the gondola ride up to Lantau peak (on the island of Lantau), gorgeous view and home of the Tian Tan Buddha.

World’s tallest, outdoor, seated, bronze Buddha (there’s always a catch, but we’ll just call it really big).

Post Buddha pilgrimage, we bussed it down to the beachside town, think Catalina Island with a Chinese flair, for afternoon beer and snacks.  Larry ordered the calamari and fried eggplant for us, because as he put it, the menu wasn’t very “whitey friendly.”
