It’s a Sunday morning over here in Taipei, and I am about to have my first cup of coffee of the day. I did not wake up to rain, but the skies are clouded over and my tiny rooftop apartment (otherwise known as Rooftop Paradise) is quite chilly and damp – sure signs that winter is on its way or already here to stay.

She has been to Italy and France and Greece on business trips. She owns a car and a farm and this house and a place in Taichung. She runs a bunch of side businesses. She sells clothes in this village as well as her own soap and a bunch of other stuff. She was very friendly.
I was eager to hit the road this morning, and after a quick shave and a brushing of the teeth, I was on my way. The morning was beautiful and cool and in no time at all, I was surrounded by gorgeous mountains. The problem is that I take so many pictures, it takes me a long time to cover any distance. I stopped again and again to take pictures. From this point, the scenery is going to get better and better, so I’ll probably end up going slower and slower.

I’m currently in a mountain tea-growing town called Pinglin. I’ve been here many, many times, but I always like it. It’s the very first place I went to on my first trip out of Taipei many years ago. The town itself is nothing that special, but a beautiful river runs through it, and they built trails all along the river and then up into the mountains.
