October 9-15: Taiwan
As we continue to make our way through Asia we are having a great time meeting up with friends. In Taipei, we stayed with Lisa's family Oliver & Jan Lee, parents of Saul.
Our first days were packed with a ferris wheel ride, a trip to the fisherman's wharf, a ride through a national park, and a trip to the beach. We had great timing with the beach visit, just in time for a kite festival on a windy day. Another interesting thing, we saw a shrimp farm..???, not sure what to call it. Basically, lots of shrimp throw into a murky pool of water with people gathered around with fishing poles, kind of like fishing in a fish tank.
We spent lots of time at Taipei 101, tallest building in the world, apparently soon to be surpassd by Dubai. We finally had a clear day and made it to the top to get the view of the city.
A highlight for Lisa was getting to meet Melody's parents. We had a great time talking to her mom about various mission trips and experiences.
The week ended with the national museum, a trip to the countryside and freedom square.
Thanks for everything Oliver and Jan!!
