[I’m having lots of problems with my photos on a new iPhone. Life was much easier with an Android!]
The day started off with a bike ride to a market site along a river through Taipei. Judy and her son Dominique were my guides. The bicycles are a city project, effectively used there to reduce the number of miles driven in cars. Our trip, under 30 minutes, was free.
Another community-living service is umbrella rental! If you’re caught in the rain without one, public buildings have these rental racks.
We bicycled to a subway station and left the bikes there, and then took the underground to a volcanic hot springs that is in Taipei. Very interesting. You can see the steam rising from the 44ºC water.
