It has been a cool weekend thus far...hanging out with Heather and Dylan around the greater Taichung area. We went to Chingshui on Thursday to the Sea Port Art Museum. It was closed...but the grounds were open and we had a great time... So much so that we have decided that we will go back. The grounds were filled with children's art, Heather thought it was because of Children's day on Wednesday...any case Dylan had a very cool time running and wandering around touching and playing with things. We had coffee at the little restaurant on the grounds, we're lengthening the 'leash' on Dylan...giving him more freedom to explore the environment by himself...he doesn't just sweep around like a baby tornado much anymore but still has no concept of what could be potentially dangerous...what worries us is his concept of height...He is so cool though and we were very proud of him...he is listening to us and responding to what we say. We rode off to the harbour afterwards...tons of fish at the Wuci fish harbour...market thing place. We had our favourite...barbecued squid on a stick...some deep fired calamari and crab....yum...yum.

Riding past some cemeteries is always interesting but on these few days there is the added activities of the local people cleaning and tending the tombs of their ancestors...lots of smoke in the air and ghost money pinned tot he tombs.
Yesterday morning we went to metropolitan park for a run and 'mini picnic'...we had some juice and two bags of crisps. Very cool place...and its huge...Dylan got so tired and grumpy by the time we had to come home after all the running around...We decided to get some steak and noodles for lunch at a favourite place near Art street.
Today were going to go see a house that a friend found...we are not looking to move but if its really nice will probably consider it...the house is in a cool and vibrant area not too far from where we are now so it will be a nice change.
