Hong Kong -- Macau -- Senado Square and Macau Museum


On our way to Senado Square, we came upon the lovely 
Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady...
...which, of course, has a nativity outside.


Then, we proceeded on down the street to the square...
...which was decked out in Christmas attire!


This square was originally a meeting place for the Chinese and Portuguese. Today, it's a 'meeting place' for people of all nationalities to visit and explore it's various festivals, celebrations, markets, and shows.


It's always nice, however surprising, to see familiar sites in other countries--
...McDonald's!

...Pizza Hut!

...Haagen Dazs!

...KFC... that delivers!!


Our next stop was the Museum of Macau.


Located inside Mount Fortress (also known as Fortress of Our Lady of the Mount of St. Paul), it displays the history and culture of Portugal as the former owner of the territory.

After our visit to the museum, we headed down the hill to see the Ruins of St. Paul's...
