Jet lag

2:30 AM Hong Kong=2:30 PM New York. Of course, I am awake. HK is our portal to Asia & Africa. Two nights is not quite enough to conquer jet lag for me. I'm sitting quietly in the dark not wanting to disturb Dave. Lucky guy is sleeping.

Hong Kong is asleep. No boats traversing the harbor. The water is still. Lights outline the shore and silhouette buildings but not even a car passes on the road below our window. We will be in Bangladesh this afternoon. We heard yesterday that traffic will be heavy and noisy. For now, I will bask in the thought that all of Asia is asleep.

Before we leave, though, I must tell you about HK Chapter for Room to Read. It has been the shining star and fundamental to the success of RtR. This is a modern city, a financial capital of the world! It is heartwarming to know its citizens are generous and caring of their neighbors. The concern for children and literacy is shared worldwide. We've made some dear friends here. We love Hong Kong.
