Last full day in Taiwan

Street market in Jiufen

Taipei 101 (Tallest building in the world)


Temple on the North Coast







Water barricades





We took a drive to the North West coast. It was very beautiful and looked like I imagined England would. Since it was Monday here, there were not as many people. We then went to a traditional town built in the mountains. Mostly we shopped and ate there. We were the only Americans we saw at the marketplace. As usual, we had many stares, and a group of teens had to touch and play with Anna. I guess this will prepare us for the attention we will receive at home. We returned to the hotel early since Dena and her family are leaving tonight.

We will spend tomorrow packing and finishing shopping. We don't leave the hotel until 3 pm. Our flight is at 6:30 and we arrive in LA 3 hours before we left.

Today is the first day where I'm homesick and ready to be home. The sad thing is now we are over the jet lag. But 10 days living in a hotel has become old.


I'm borrowing a laptop and have to give it back.
