my last day

taipei is a beautiful city
i loved it almost as soon as i walked out of my hotel room
lovely gardens, a very walkable downtown,
and a clearly called out desire for peace.

we wandered into this beautiful area that has a monument to
Chiang Kai-Shek
a former president of the Republic of China

the buildings were bigoh so very BIG,
leanne is in front of the stairs to the rightthis picture cracked me up,
perhaps it was something written on his cheeks,
but i couldn't figure out how this kid
made it onto a peace muraljust before a delicious japanese italian dinner of pasta (???)
i witnessed my last sunset of taiwanthe tallest building in taiwan.
i would say in the world,
but i think that title is about to be taken away.and finally the monument to the founder of the Replublic of China
Dr. Sun Yat-sen
we ended the day at the local Cold Stone Creamery
and then i was hauled off to the airport the next morning
where i was fortunate enough to score a seat with amazing leg room.

i may follow up with some random shots, but for now...
that's all folks.

hmmm, where should i go next???
