Acclimatization

The weather was gorgeous the day we left Taiwan. We were a little early to church so we stopped to enjoy the sunshine and take a few pictures of the climate we were leaving. The church building is on our left and the Taipei temple is on our right. Poinsettias and palm trees. Love it.

It is amazing how we have grown accustomed to warm winters just after a couple years away from Utah. Taiwan's winter season is the same time of year as Utah's, but it is not nearly as cold. And they don't get snow. It is just really windy. I was so excited for a white Christmas this year (although a bit concerned about the freezing temperatures).


I don't mind the cold when it looks this beautiful. Furthermore, we haven't spent much time outside. Hurry to the car, blast the heat, then hurry inside. It isn't as bad as I was expecting. We did go to Temple Square for my dad's annual choir concert. I was okay walking around the grounds for a little while, but we definitely weren't going to make it through the entire Nativity recording.

It was so fun to see you guys and I can't wait to have another play date.
