Geneva by Talia.




We're in Geneva now.  We are staying with my mom's friend, and her house is right across from the jet d'eau so we get a good view all the time! The lake with the jet d'eau is really pretty on the edges, it has the clear parts.  It has those parts because it is glacial water.  We also spent a lot of time at the lake and the pool. We saw my aunt and uncle too which was pretty fun. The most fun thing at the lake was a obstacle course made out of tire parts. I love that we can see the Jet d'eau and the sunset. It is so pretty.

One thing that's different about not being in America is that after you finish your food at restaurants or cafes, you can stay there and talk for as long as you like.

    Thanks for the nice pictures and telling us something about your trip. I will be interested to learn if you have taken trips outside Geneva into France or small Swiss towns.

Italy -Geneva-ltaly from Mark

I'll try to to cover some of the things my other family members have covered, so not too many pics on the via ferrata, which was super cool, and closing thoughts. Observations/closing comments. - We all agree we actually packed too much.  - It was a great trip, thanks to Lynette, the kids, friends, coaches, and all the people we interacted with. - I thought I would have a lot of time, but I didn't.   - Dealing with tech burned time like no ones business; mostly before the trip, but also on the trip. - The news from the US was just as hard to hear, even halfway around the world.   - Mission accomplished. With Peyton going to high school next year and Talia starting middle school, this was our window for this type of trip.  The main goal for me was to have this once in a lifetime opportunity with my family.  I do feel that I gave the kids, and wife, plenty to talk with their therapists about.    Italy - 1 On this leg of the trip we stayed ...

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....

Taiwan by Talia

  This was me at the beginning of our three month adventure. We were on the plane for five hours to get to San Francisco, stayed there for one hour, then got on another plane for fourteen hours. We got to Taiwan at four in the morning, Their Time. We got to our airbnb, and after putting down all of our stuff we went out. The night market was clearly not open yet but it was still amazing to see everything. At night when the night market did open it was amazing. There were people everywhere and stalls right, left, up, and down the street.  This is the night market and a crazy festival. The night market happens every night from four pm till two am. It's really cool to walk around it and see everything. There are endless shops, food, drinks, and games, and it's extremely big too. We are staying in a building right above it so it's pretty easy access if we want to got down to it. It is also the most famous night market in all of Taiwan. As for the festival, it was for the birthd...
