Experiencing Taiwan

Taiwan travel can be a little crowded/long/difficult/stressful/tiring/overwhelming/smelly at times. Then add a couple feet of rain and we get a perfect vacation. I've realized a "vacation" to Taiwan does not equal relaxing; on the contrary it is probably not relaxing at all, but I would dare say it is interesting, exciting, adventuresome, and maybe even a little bit amazing.

Despite the non-stop rain during the entire week of Chinese New Year (and most of Charise and Greg's visit), we managed to have a little bit of fun...

Taipei 101

Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall

Dim Sum

National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine


Shih Lin Night Market


Beitou Hot Springs


Chinese New Year lion dance




Taipei, Taiwan LDS Temple

Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall























Yangmingshan National Park



The Red House

Longshan Temple

Keelung




























Fine Arts Museum


Puppetry Art Center


Grand Hotel



Charise and Greg were the BEST travel companions--they loved the food, loved the adventure, and didn't complain when things didn't go exactly as planned... we sure loved having them!!

You could have all this and more if you come visit me! Just throwing that one out there.
