Together Forever

Our first full day in Taiwan

We both could not sleep much past 5:00am, so our first day started early! We packed a lot into the day, we started at the Taipei LDS temple, and ended with the night at Shihlin Night Market which is quite a contrast!



We are amazed at the buzz of city life around us, and we are soaking everything in. The people that we have dealt with thus far have been extremely helpful and very kind. We are both taken with the Taiwan children and love to see them playing and looking at us with very curious big brown eyes. We have taken taxi’s everywhere we have gone and find that it is very easy to get around. The taxi rides have been very white-knuckled ride at times...I can’t imagine putting my baby in one!!!

We had a traditional Chinese food lunch at Fang’s, and I was adventurous and tried some different things. Everything was really good.


We went to some of the traditional temples here and watched the people worship. I have to say that people watching has been quite fun!


The night market was amazingly crowded and it was not even the busy time of night. We could barely walk down the alley and the smells were getting to both of us. We found some great traditional clothing for Maya in little sizes, and a few other treasures. We had a great time.
So now it is almost 8pm and we are so sleepy we are going to call it a night.
One more day until Maya!!!
