Back from Taiwan

Hi All,

This is Allen reporting.  Esme and I have just come back from a week long trip.  Thank you to Uncle Billy and Aunt Cynthia for letting us stay for the week.  We were able to visit Pandas, ride the gondola, meet Great Grandma and other family members, go to the Little Mermaid's Grotto (different than the Disney one), go up one of the world's tallest buildings and end with a week riding the teacups at the Children's Play Park.  Esme got a chance to practice her Chinese as she played with new family members.  Here are some of the pictures:



Esme is ready to go!


First stop out of the USA, Tokyo! For about an hour


I guess it's true that tigers like to swim


Only ride the happy Pandas!


Esme's first subway ride.  After the trip, she was a pro at getting through the subways


Our dinner on the second night. Just guess how much Esme ate!


Ah ma and her sisters, still looking good!


Building 101 is visible from Great Grandma's house


Grandma, Great grandma, Grandpa, Dad and Esme


Esme with her favorite drink.  We always bought two at the 7 eleven


We almost lost Esme in the ball pit


Manapuas on the street, what a delicious treat


Old school Taipei with mopeds and all and Grandma


Playing on the rooftop at Great Grandma's with second cousin Amber


Esme is half as tall as building 101


The view from the top


A tall building like 101 needs a huge Christmas tree


The Mushroom heads at the Children's Play Park


First ride, the carousel


You know you're on vacation when your cotton candy is bigger than your head


Shaka on the monorail


Our last lunch at the famous Grand Hotel.  Dad ate the whole sushi bar
