Jilong (Keelung)

Our trip to Jilong was short but sweet! Here are some photos

Our first stir-fried crab legs with curry

Pictures can be deceiving! Our hotel website failed to mention that they were down an alley next to a even shadier alley with blaring music...

They also failed to mention (which I have no idea why) the perk of glow in the dark dolphins on the ceiling of our room that were emphasized by the blacklight!

The Duolos, providing Christian reading material and music to cities around the world!

Crowded but cool

This is Jilongs temple that faces their market. The market is called 'miaokou' meaning 'intersection of the temple'

No matter what you do you cannot escape Dora the Explorer and Sponge Bob (even in balloon form)

Our new favorite desert 'bao bao bing' which is ice shavings mixed with fruit

Gotta love the babies

Our first dragon boat festival race

These people won, I knew they would all along! If you go to ESPN.com I think they'll have a clip of the race (you thought about it for a second didn't you?)

I have no idea where I am but I look good doing it

Sit! Please do not stand on this toilet! It's not a squatty potty, how many times do I have to tell you!?!?

Wow, glow in the dark ceiling dolphins... what more could you possibly ask for. I can just imagine the conversation when they were first discovered..., "Uhhhh, what is that...are those fish, no dolphins...um, ok" LOL:-)

Aunt Deb is so enjoying your travelogs and waiting to see when the signs are favorable for travel to a far eastern country. (or is it west???)

The stir fried curry crabs look delish!

Are you stressed yet? They say it wears off at about the 6 month mark.
