MONDAY: A day with the security girls!

On Monday, Aaron decided to spend a day with his parents so I spent the day with our security girls, Ya-Wen and Yu-Shieh. In the morning, I slept in and had a breakfast buffet at the hotel. Then the girls and I went shopping at the Taipei City Hall to look for some Deaflympics items. Here below is a blow up giant Deaflympics mascot :)

The girls wanted to show me this city called Tamsui(pronounced Tam-Shay) so we took an hour subway drive to the city north of Taipei. The city is located off the harbor right across from a mountain and the ocean. It is very beautiful! We went into town and went shopping at many different souvenirs shops. The city is older and had a very antique look.

We had McDonald's for lunch in Tamsui City and visited a temple where people go to pray in front of their GOD in Taiwan.

After the visit of Tamsui City, we took the subway back to the hotel and I got ready to watch the Men's Basketball Final. Team USA won the GOLD!!!

I went over to watch the Women's Soccer final after the game but ended up missing the game because both games were playing at the same time. The USA Women's soccer team won GOLD too!!! :)
I headed back to the hotel and went to bed.
Until next time...
