Discovering FengYuan

We stayed in FengYuan, where the Taiwanese Women's and Children's Association is located. We were there for about ten days, until our final ruling. Violet was born in Taichung, ten miles away, but has lived with a nanny n FengYuan for about three months. Feng Yuan has about 100,000 people-most of them riding mopeds in organized chaos at any given time. We both adored the bakeries, which are said to rival Parisian Pattiseries (and I agree). The skyline picture was taken several hours before a minor typhoon hit the island. Calm before the storm...

Violet loves the Baby Bjorn. She shows signs of being a daddy's girl.


There is a very nice small park located between our hotel and the agency, otherwise the city is mostly a concrete jungle.


I needed new shoes, and we took a shopping expedition. I think Violet may have a shoe fetish like her her mom!


During one of our walks to the center of town, we found ourselves in the middle of a parade. It was very loud but Violet didn't seem to mind.
