You have some good pictures, Peyton. I particularly like the overview of the park presented in your first picture. I liked your fossil pictures, too. As Grandma said, we didn't notice them when we were there.
I hope you get some daytime pictures from the roof of your hotel as well as other pictures around that village. We didn't know about it when we lived there.
Thanks for checking out our blog! This is the start of our world trip and we're going to do our best to post pictures and stories here for friends and family. This is us - and all our luggage - for the next three months. We're starting off with three weeks in Taiwan. Two weeks in Taipei followed by a week traveling around the island. In general, our plan is to "slow travel". We're staying predominantly in airbnbs in local neighborhoods. In addition to doing school work each day, we're shopping in local markets, cooking, and visiting both tourist attractions and places off the beaten trail. We're currently in an airbnb apartment on the second floor in one of the biggest night markets in Taipei - Shilin Night Market. In the morning, vendors are out selling fruits, vegetables and meats. Starting around 4 pm, the shops open and the food vendors come out. The crowds start arriving and the place is packed until around 2 am....
Mark (M): Peyton and I both contributed to this post. I'll do my semi deep dive here. This was a great experience both from a cultural and wrestling point of view. - Masa, pictured below when he took us to a national level tournament in Tokyo, introduced me to the coach at Iran Wrestling Club and Figure four. He was awesome and took a lot of time to come with us to various practices. I'm pretty sure he was "vouching" for us. He had brought his son to some of my practices in VA many years ago, so he knew me as a coach. The first time we returned to a practice, Masa would call to make sure the coach was good with us. Turns out, this is part of the culture. All of the coaches were more than happy to have Peyton back. His wrestling, and behavior made him a desired participant. I'm still so proud of how far his wrestling has come this past year. - Overall differences between US and Japanese wrestl...
My friend from Cleveland Via Taiwan, in Taiwan. It was awesome catching up with an old close friend in her original country. Love hearing her perspective after being in her country to three weeks. We leave Taiwan tomorrow and head towards Japan I'll close out: - Yes, they have a ton of food and eating healthy is not easy. - Loved the climbing gyms, wish we had made more of them and I hadn't lost my climbing shoes. - Very friendly and helpful people. - Pretty easy country to travel - One of the hardest parts for me is reading the news back home, just makes me sick. Alien landscape and alien life forms. Captain something grand, and shabbat at the gold mine. this is self explanatory. This was a big festival that went on for a month in various places. Again, lots of fireworks. The other is a Ferrari at a market, it just seemed out of place. This is the traditional garbage can eating etiquette. Hikes :...
Cool pictures and fossils, Peyton! We didn’t know about the fossils.
