Sightseeing

Today we had the chance to do some sightseeing. Taiwan has beautiful landscape. We rode a train for 1 hour through the mountains, by the pacific ocean and through several towns. We then rode in a van with Ted and the Krosher family to Toroka National Park. It is a beautiful gorge surrounded by mountains. We had the opportunity to walk several trails and stop at many lookout points. We also had the opportunity to try many local foods. It seemed like every hour Ted was stopping to pick up more food he had ordered for us to try. It was a great chance to see the countryside we enjoyed the day very much. The only down side was that Daniel did not come along. Ted said the day would be too much for him. I missed him soooo much. It was weird, I felt like I was missing part of myself. But we returned before dinner and got to spend some time with him.

Last night at dinner we gave the girls sitting with us a good laugh. Daniel had been constipated and we were hoping he would go. Josh was holding him and held his butt up to his nose smelling his dirty diaper and making a terrible face. I then looked to see that it was dirty and got so excited I was clapping and telling Daniel good job. Even thought the girls couldn't understand us, I guess our antics were clear enough. They thought it was so funny!

Daniel is now peacefully sleeping in the pac-n-play in our room. We hope it will be another good night sleep for all of us.

love, Tanya
