Mountain Adventures

Today we donned casual gear and hiked to the top of Sunglu Mountain for a spectacular view of the city and ocean. We even witnessed hand gliders take off from the top in what appeared to be quite a dangerous sport. We hiked with seven Rotary clubs and posed for many photographs with a large Rotary banner made especially for our visit. Everywhere we go, we are warmly greeted and photographed frequently. The Rotarians provided water and a snack for the hike, plus a delicious luncheon at the top of the mountain. In the evening, we joined eight Rotarians for one more feast of at least a dozen kinds of fish decorated in real gold and ribbons. This beach restaurant was also owned by a local Rotarian. Once again we shared thanks, toasts and lots of laughter. What is lost in translation is gained in joy, laughter and smiles.
