Hi Mom – Happy Mother’s Day!

Lookin' good

Farmer’s market Taipei style

Not too far from home is one of many local produce markets that sell fruits, vegetables, meats and fish.  Prices are much better than what you’d pay in the grocery stores, and it’s a fun experience as well.

There are half a dozen of these little produce alleys within a few minutes walk from home.

Some of the veggies for sale

Picnic at the beach

Soooo glad it’s Friday.

Taiwan hasn’t yet unleashed it’s suffocating humidity and we’re thankful for that.  The cool weather has actually stretched into May and every cool day now is a gift.  To take advantage of this perfect weather we headed out to the north coast with friends for an early evening picnic and sunset.  It’s was the perfect end to a long week and a great start to the weekend.

Just in time for the sunset
