China Trip Macau

Macau is definitely a favorite spot for tourists and we joined the crowds headed up the long stairs at "The Ruins of St Paul," a Catholic Church that burned to the ground except for the facade left after the fire.    We felt the strong Portuguese influence as we walked the streets in the "Old City" and visited the Mount Fortress and Macao Museum.  We sampled world famous beef jerky from street vendors and ate in a Portuguese Restaurant.  Many casinos and hotels in the area lit up the night time skies with glitzy neon lights.  A special treat was having dinner in the top of the revolving Macao Tower with an international buffet with everything imaginable to eat!  We were serenaded at our table by a Central American musical trio and joined them in singing "Top of the World."  What a memorable way to end our first week!  One of the turbo jet ferries in the harbor carried us back to Hong Kong to prepare for our trip to Taiwan.
