Lovely and I got brekkie at the soy bean milk place. Alan and Isaiah and KR watched the Chiefs vs Patriots online and Patriots won in over time. After brekkie, in the rain, we went to Cat Town, where the old mining town was. Then it was Shifen water fall and Old Town, where the tourists can write on lanterns and set them floating in the air. But I thought too much plastic waste and didn't want to do it.
The train actually comes through the middle of this town, and both sides of the track there are shops, stalls for eating, souvenir shops, and miscellaneous. So when the train comes through everyone clears off the track (where the lanterns are launched) and then move back on the tracks when it is passed. Would never work in the states, too much OSHA, etc regulations.
We had a wonderful lunch of fried oyster, egg, more beef noodle soup, and all while rain misted down. We tried to get Abby and Isaiah to their dental appts but we were late so the dentist didn't see them.
KR and I napped for about an hour, we were exhausted.
Then it was to SHILIN night market !!!!
We lined up for this giant flat fried chicken, clams in broth and all kinds of stuff. We picked up Vikki before and Isaiah and Vikki stayed there while Alan dropped us off at Abby cram school, we talked to the students (different ones) and then Alan/Lovely went back to pick up Isaiah/Vikki to drop Vikki off. Abby, KR and I walked to a red bean, soy bean place and had some, and then they picked us off. We came back to Lovely's and took a shower, as Robert's place did not have hot water on the upper level bedroom. Sleep at Robert's. SO tired ............
