Taiwan & Okinawa, March 2017

Here's a few pics after a long hiatus
On the shuttle, just before I left my wallet & ID on the bus

Trying to get the wiggles out


Lucky to have out seatmate move across the aisle... win!

Hello, Taipei!

Headed right out to get dinner at the nearest night market


Taiwanese okonomaykai

he LOVED to push this switch... which turned off the lights in the room

just waiting on Dad to get ready

We took a chance... delicious tea egg wrapped in other deliciousness


So many mopeds!
Little rainy, but that didn't stop us


Memorial Hall







Inside Cody's breakfast




Changing of the guard





mailing off some postcards
pressed penny time

waiting on Theo's nap



I liked this one

A view from across the street... even the public library didn't want to let us connect to wifi


After- lunch carry with Dad




Time to run!

Love this one! :)



Art inside the metro was superb


Our gift to Obama (courtesy of a Taiwanese gentleman at the Memorial Hall) and treats for the night

More light-switch shenanigans
Frequent street scene


Train nap

Start of our gorge tour



Stopped off to 'hike' 15 min, then back on the bus!






papertowels for 'hygiene'







Theo was napping at this stop, but I had a spectacular view from the bus
Another favorite at the beach stop


:)


Fam pic


Candied strawberries and one candied tomato at the largest night market

So packed on that Saturday night

wish we'd have bought 8 (or more) of these pork & cilantro sandwiches




?



Theo did not like the lack of space. (Shilin Night Market)

Fried dough with egg yolk inside!

Don't have a hotdog bun? Let's make one out of rice!

More mopeds
And off we go sightseeing after sitting in Mass in Mandarian for 2.5 hours




Ceiling was incredible


Norma Coffee

waiting on coffee (I thought it was lovely and worth the wait... Theo did not)

I liked how this photo came out



It's a Long thing

Grand Hotel
















Figured we had to try bubble tea... didn't like it, didn't finish it

Taipei 101



Our favorite!

We watched a youtube video about these and got there early to get some. Didn't make the same mistake, we got three


Fried whole crab


Mango & kiwi shave ice

mmmm
Tour up the north coast













Planning out our afternoon back at the hotel (with wifi, thank you very much)

Delicious dumplings we found on a random street


With asparagus beer. didn't like it, didn't finish it


Dessert with purple sweet potato filling

Latte was worth the wait

We enjoyed a coffee date while Theo snoozed

cold hazelnut latte
Theo made lots of friends over touching their lugguage

And lots of friends on the plane

We've arrived in Naha!


Silly tourists at the castle




Tour was a little underwhelming. The best part was the stamping
Cape Manza

Twas very windy

View from our hotel


'helping' with laundry

loves his new pillow arrangement

So relaxing

Helping himself to a snack

Okinawa dinner and made a new friend

Aquarium time







More interested in the floor than the fish


First met these fellas in D.C.

Whale sharks!




Loves to push his own stroller


Manatee exhibit was very underwhelming

snooze enroute to the Pineapple Park






Theo did not enjoy the beach

Heart rock beach

headed back
