You came here for a reveal, huh?
You came here to find out if I was LYING.
Yeah, I know you.
I expected you to show up here today.
So don't pretend you're here just to "read a blog post."
You totally came to find out which of my stories was fact and which was fiction.
Don't try to deny it.
(tee hee ... just felt like working on my *threatening dialogue.* Did you feel threatened?)
And now, on to the BIG REVEAL!
Story #1 was ... FACT. Yes, Perfect Pool really was that perfect and that scary to reach (if you were coming from the top of the mountain).
Which makes Story #2 FICTION. I did lose myself on several hikes growing up, but this particular getting-lost story was unfortunately made up.
In the summer of 2011, I visited my family in Hong Kong and we spent the night on Sunset Peak in one of the cabins, for old time's sake. Here are a few pics of that trip, just to give you a visual of what Hong Kong hiking is like. We didn't attempt to visit Perfect Pool this time around ... would have been pretty treacherous with a baby strapped to my front, especially going across that cliff face!

Yay. I got yours right. Now I'll have to go see if I got any others correct too. 1/1 so far. :)
ReplyDeletelove it! but i only got one right so far! i stink at guessing the truth! i'd be a bad detective!
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend!
Yay, I got this one. Great pics! I think I'm up to 4/6? I'm losing track though.

ReplyDeleteCool stories… Both of them. =) ~Aidyl
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures. I missed the blogosphere lately but I'll have to go back and read your stories, Amy :)
ReplyDeleteYou totally fooled me, Amy! Gorgeous pictures ... to have breakfast amdist the clouds? Wow! And your beautiful sister looks a LOT like you ...
ReplyDeleteHa! You really got me. :-)
ReplyDeleteAh! I guessed wrong!
ReplyDeleteI think it was the word "perfect." Hardly anything ever is, but I'm glad it was for you. Now I want to visit that pool!
Thanks for participating!
Wow, those pictures are gorgeous! So glad you didn't get lost on that hike. :)
ReplyDeleteYour threats have me shivering in my shoes :0, but I got it right! Great pictures. This was so much fun to read everyone's stories
ReplyDeleteBooya! First one I've gotten right!!! I love that the perfect pool is real :)
ReplyDeleteI felt both threatened and shamed! :)
ReplyDeletePerfect pool sounds so amazing! Thanks for sharing such a cool adventure.
ReplyDeleteHaha, Amy, I wondered where you were all summer. Then I looked and saw that you had somehow dropped out of my list of blogs. No wonder "you never updated." :D
ReplyDeleteA HA! I knew it! *diabolical laughter*
ReplyDeleteHowever, yours was the only one I got right...sigh...
Sweet!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to backtrack and read. I saw a few posts for this blogfest and it was awesome. Fantastic pictures.
