Robertson Tribe Updates

We went on an impromptu outing this past week to see the endangered pink dolphins.  Yes.  Pink Dolphins.  Take a moment now and  please refer to the title of my post.

There really are pink dolphins here in China.  To be more specific, they are white and they blush to a pink color.  They aren’t exactly sure why they are pink, but think it has something to do with regulating their body temps; similar to our faces flushing when we exert ourselves.  It could be the horrid pollution in the water, but hey, who asks ME?

We did have many sightings, including one who danced for us and a mother and baby combination that was fun to watch.  Many of them were close to the surface prior to coming up for air, which allowed us to get the kids looking in the right direction in the middle of an ocean.  That was a trick, let me tell you. 

The actual boat was lovely, so we had a wonderful ride out and back, even without the dolphin sightings.  It was a perfect HKG day, with a nice breeze, so it was a great time.  Then we treated the kids (ok, and us) to lunch at TGI Fridays before making the trip back home.

Fun memories to add to the HKG experience….yay!!
