Sunday, July 15th, Last Day in Taiwan

These next few pictures are some weird things that were on our breakfast buffet every morning. There were tons of choices, but these were the most um...... Interesting. Ok, so you've all heard of Green Eggs and Ham? Well, here they are. Not all of the eggs were green, so David picked around them for himself and the girls. They were seasoned either with seaweed or some other concoction to make them green. WHY???? the little round balls were called has browns, but they were really like little balls of mashed potatoes that had been deep fried. They were actually not bad !!
 
Here is the ham, in the middle is smoked duck breast, and the last one is pork sausage. Pass.........no thanks.......no way on any of these.
 
Steamed pork buns for breakfast. These were pretty good, per David.
 
And of course, the Chinese Dessert which was actually steamed dumplings stuffed with shredded carrot, peas, and pork. David tried them and didn't care for them.
 
Steamed cabbage, roasted sweet potato, "hash browns", and red bean bread. The steamed cabbage was AWESOME and all of us, except Olivia, ate tons of it for breakfast everyday. YUM !!!! I asked David why we don't eat cabbage for breakfast at home. He said "who is going to cook it???". Good point. However, since we have been home, we have mastered the art of making steamed cabbage, Taiwanese style. It is so good.
 
Beautiful Kendall standing by the luggage in our room, right before checkout. Wow, we were so ready to get home.
 
The massive tub in our bathroom at the Pacific Business Center. It was an amazing tub. The shower was awesome as well. We highly recommend this hotel as it far exceeded our expectations.
 
Kendall and Olivia in the hotel lobby at 1pm, right as we were checking out. The lobby was on the 11th floor of the building.
 
Olivia and Kendall in front of a gorgeous glass sculpture at the Taoyuan International Airport.
 
Killing time at the airport. LOTS of time !!! We were at the airport many hours early.
 
 
Wi-Fi seats at the airport !!! How cool is this? In the USA, people are sitting all over the floor, huddled by electrical outlets. But here, they are in each of the seats.
 
 
Olivia at the Hello Kitty entertainment area for kids in the airport. They think of everything here.
 
Mommy and the girlies at the airport. So many orchids were everywhere.
 
Getting a bite to eat at the airport in Taiwan.
 
 
Kendall and David on the people mover.
 
Olivia running on the people mover. She had such a good time running on the different ones throughout the airport.
 
Are we there yet? Oh wait, we haven't even got on the first plane yet !! UGH !!!
