Geopark Pictures by Peyton

We went to Yehliu Geopark. It is a park right next to the ocean with many cool rock formations.



There were also many sand dollar fossils in the ground.

    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.

First Taiwan report - from Lynette

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....

Wrestling Tokyo - Mark and Peyton

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...

Colosseum by Peyton

     The Colosseum is a structural marvel. It was built from 72 AD to 80 AD and is still the world's largest amphitheater and the largest structure in Rome. It could hold 50,000 to 80,000 people and everyone could get out in about 15 minutes using the 80 exits. It also had 5 levels and underground passageways. The underground passageways were similar to a backstage they would have lots of elevator and cages for animals.   They could even hoist up sets and features like hills and trees making the battle ground themed for different things. They could make the people and animals come up from the ground. On the playing surface there were nine inches of sand to absorb all the blood. In the seats, the emperor, governors, and senators would sit right next to the playing field.   One row up would be wealthy merchants and higher class people. Up from there, were mostly common people.                         ...
