Goodbye Taiwan - Hello Chattanooga

2 March 2010, Tuesday - Our last day in Taipei and Taiwan. We got up at 6 pm, Monday morning Eastern Standard Time.  This morning the coolest since we've been here. Rainy, overcast and breezy. Temps in the mid 60s and noticeably cooler. After breakfast, our last delight, packing ensued. Going out for lunch, our new favorite restaurant was closed so we walked to another part of town.  Hmm, this tower looks like a giant Ipod.


After lunch shots of a street corner.

Excellent food fare at the Taipei airport – vegetable dumplings, noodles and stew.

Welcome to your new home!


Toys and meeting Gracie!




We arrived here at 415 pm Wednesday EST, including 3 hours driving time, 1 hour bus time, 10 hours waiting in airports and 16 hours flying time with maybe 4 hours sleep out of 22.5 hours clock time and over 8200 miles traveled.

Good night Gracie!
