Alright, we're now officially past the half way mark. We stayed up pretty late last night watching Shrek 2 so I ended up sleeping in until about noon. Once I got out of bed Fiona and I headed out to meet up with her aunt to get some tofu for lunch, it was delicious.
After lunch Fiona and I stopped by the Macau tourist office to grab a map and then we caught a bus to go to the southernmost point of Macau, a region called Coloane. We visited one of Macau's nicer beaches called Hac Sa Bay. We walked around for about an hour and just hung out. On our way back onto the main peninsula we passed the Venetian casino, (still under construction), and made a quick stop at a place called the Taipa House Museum. The museum is reminiscent of the Meux home in Fresno. It was just a group of old houses on a lake.
Before meeting back up with Fiona's aunt and mom for dinner we visited the Macau Tower. The Macau Tower was built by the owner's of the Lisboa casino and it's basically just another Seattle Space Needle...with bungee jumping! I didn't do any bungee jumping but at the observation deck they had glass flooring in some spots so you could look down...pretty freaky.
When we finished at the tower we caught a taxi to a Portuguese restaurant to meet up with Fiona's aunt and mom. Dinner tonight was much better than last night. During dinner I mentioned something about the dog races I had seen on the tour guide map. Since, I'd never been to a dog race, and neither had anyone else at the dinner table, Fiona's aunt called around and figured out where and when to go. Right after dinner we hired a taxi to take us to the track.
After watching one race we came back to the house. We're going to go check out the Wynn casino and then call it a night. Depending on our host's plans we may or may not go to Hong Kong tomorrow. Either way I'll keep you guys posted. Night!
