Today we went out to Danshui, on the outskirts of Taipe and at the end of the metro line. The weather was very nice -- a little humid but not too hot, but it was hazy. We had a nice walk along the boardwalk, which had a number of arcades and lots of food stalls. We ate at a great restaurant and then walked down what's called Danshui Old Street, which was full of little shops and, of course, tons of scooters. Twenty years ago everyone probably got around on bicycles. Today they all use scooters!
This is the view from the boardwalk, across the Danshuei River.
Fort San Domingo overlooks the harbor.
The tide was coming in when I shot this photo.
Two of the many food stands along the boardwalk.
I'm not sure where the owners were, though.
These are parade floats that had yet to be finished.
They may be for the 10-10 celebration Monday -- Taiwan's
national day.
There are scooters everywhere in Taiwan!
