Weekend in Taipei

Time to catch you up on what's been happening. I spent Friday afternoon with good friends -- pastors of the north church in Taipei. Time to share about where we're at, our hopes and dreams, thoughts about what God is saying and doing in our lives .... and fun with kids.

Weekly prayer meeting at the church later on after dinner at a "cafeteria." I actually forgot to take pictures for you but I'm sure I'll be at another one so you can see what amazing choices you get from day to day -- beats the heck out of a McDonald's menu any day!
















Saturday was a day to take it easy ... woke up late .... went out walking in the neighbourhood -- our objective was to get lunch at a street stall and we accomplished that. However, on the way I just shot some pictures as we went by various shops -- not that I'm trying to "rub it in" that there's fresh fruit at hand everywhere!!






























In case you wondered what tou-fu looks like before it shows up in those little plastic packages in your neighbourhood grocery store -- here's a close up -- yummy! Fresh eggs in roadside bulk form. And just a couple of market pictures on the stalls at the street corner as we crossed the road. The weekend market is a lovely place to spend a bit of time.

















Saturday afternoon we hopped on the MRT to the grounds of the main university and walked there for a couple of hours -- listening to birds, watching turtles, checking out the flowers. Pretty relaxing day. It was overcast so the temperatures were moderate and really pleasant.
