Pics from Taipei weekend

We had a great weekend up in Taipei with Peggy and Vincent..fun filled. Went to Yangmingshan (no pics- batt dead) where we walked for ages...were heading to a waterfall and all along the way when we asked people they said "15 minutes left" after 45minutes we turned back but it was really beautiful all the same. The next day we headed along the coast basically around the northern tip of Taiwan to Yeliou- really beautiful, strange erosion patterns. Wonderful day just very HOT!!! Went off to 101 on Monday and then a tearful goodbye at the airport in the evening.

The landscape at Yeliou

Still fresh faced at the start of the walk....

Dylan found the rocks fascinating.






We stopped at Paishawan beach on the way for a paddle in the sea...very crowded little beach.



Outside 101

At the airport


All else going well here, just very hot and this pregnancy is very different from Dylan...a lot more tired and have had a lot of nausea. Poor Ciro and Dylan are having to deal with a much
crankier version of me at the moment..

Mom's visit

Mom was here for three weeks and it was a pretty packed time ..apart from when we went to work. We all enjoyed having her here and Dylan got to spend lots of time with his Granny. Too much to give a complete recount so here are some pics of the time...which went by way too fast!!!!! More pics later...upload is taking forever...
