Taipei was a time for us to get caught up, exercise, and give the girls some time to explore on their own. We really didn’t know what to expect in Taiwan in general, but without a car, not wanting to travel with an organized tour, we decided to home base for just over a week in the capital.
Acupressure classes with dozens of older men and women (some in wheelchairs) in the park.
Lifting weights at the community gym with local meatheads and a few older people who looked to be a 100.
Pony Burger’s most amazing burgers and the lovely couple who runs the place.
Our daily walk past a brothel and explaining the details of that one to the kids.
The girls taking off for the day on the subway.
The double mothers day, once with kids, movie, water parks and fun (but no mention of it being mothers day) and the second celebration two days later on the day they thought was mothers day (all these time zones and international date lines seem to throw us all off), giving me a chance to count my blessings twice.
And bubble tea, so much bubble tea.
Like a spring getting ready to let go, Taipei was a great resting place for us to spring into South Korea and on to the next adventure.
