Ok, we took a small trip to a town north of Taipei (although it's still technically considered Taipei...and we rode the subway there) called Danshui (pronounced danshway). It was crazy! So many people and so many interesting things. I almost had an instant "did he eat it" classic but I couldn't find it when I got up the nerve to try it. I won't ruin the surprise because now I'm on the look out for it. Coming soon....
This is a cotton candy machine....on the back of a scooter
Temple arcitecture (they really like dragons)
We found a wonderful ice cream parlor that was painted on the outside with cow "patches" so we couldn't miss it. This is called "Obama (yes, that one) Chocolate"
This is a Spanish fort that was built when (surprise) the Spanish ran this port
Looking out to the port from the fort
This is another view
This is a grub (not at the fort). This was at a store called "Starbugs" (get it?). This guy was for sale for $50! Just kidding that's 50 taiwan dollars which is around $1.50 not bad. However, I liked the Dung Beetle but the owner wouldn't let me take a picture of him, he's shy.
Here's the crowd...and the garbage truck. The garbage trucks play a Muzak version of "Fleur-De-Lis" to let you know they're coming. Haven't quite understood that one. Oh, see if you can spot the two crazy things in this picture. (hint:hair & ice cream [that's a really good hint])
This is Valentine Bridge named after St. Valentino of Portugal.....just kidding, I have no idea who it was named after. But it is Valentine Bridge
That's looking towards China, can you see them? They're watching you!
Another shot of the bridge at dusk

That ice cream is too funny - hope it doesn't "break" in half! Thanks for continuing to share your adventures with us. :-)
