Simon joined us in Taiwan on December 30. Cousin T. took some time off to show us around. We decided to go the Lalashan which is a National forest in Tao Yuan county. T. was afraid of driving in the mountain, so S agreed to drive. Towards the last half of the trip, we were driving on one-lane mountain road. S quickly got used to driving in the mountain road, but I was scared of being hit by another car head-on! We spent the night in a small hotel with an amazing view of the valley. The next morning S and I hiked in the mountain for two hours. S commented about how I have more energy after becoming a mother! :) We had a great time in Lalashan. The air was fresh and we saw 20 trees that were more than 1000 years old. No, it's not a typo, the oldest tree was 2700 years old!! Don't ask me how the park rangers figured out the age of the trees.
T also took us to Yang-Ming Shan for a nice lunch plus hot spring spa- all for $15 USD per person. It finally felt nice to be on vacation when S joined us...
