Well, here is the third post for today. I must say that this will be one of the shortest posts as we didn't really do anything today. We stayed inside the house for awhile just doing nothing. We went to the Taipei Main Station in the afternoon to get some lunch/dinner. We ate in the "food court" area. The little restaurants there don't have ready made food like back in the US. All the food is prepared right there and then. So, everything is fresh. It does take a little time to make everything though, but I guess that is the trade off.
We then wandered around in the mall for awhile. There are two malls that are connected to the station. One is pretty small, and has mostly food shops. The other is pretty large and filled with all sorts of shops. We walked through both malls. I don't think we got anything, Katherine may have gotten some ear rings, and now that i think about it, I am quite sure that she did. Other than that, we didn't really do anything in the mall except look around. We went back home and stayed there until 8:00pm or so, and then went out to the night market that is closest to us.
The night market! One of the big things in Taiwan is the night market. This time, since we had eaten so late (and the meal was extremely large) none of us were really hungry. We went out to get a lime drink that we have gotten every night since our arrival. Lemonade with limes instead of lemons. It is really good. The sourness can be adjusted just to your liking, so everyone can get just what they want. We walked to a part of the market that we had never been to before, which also connected with the street that has our apartment on it. We also picked up some hydrogen peroxide...of course, all of you were dying to know that. In anycase, that is going to be our last time in a Taiwan night market for this trip.
We are leaving for China tomorrow. I think we are flying out of Taipei at 11:00am and we should be in China by 5:00pm or so. I know that this day wasn't very exciting, but let me say one more time that I added a few videos to the posts on the zoo and the water park. So, hopefully that will keep things interesting for today.

We watched the videos and enjoyed them. I commented on them on the post where they were posted.
Limeade - Rutledges love it. We like it better than lemonade.
China - how exciting. I can't wait for those posts. Our prayers are for your family's safety while traveling.
