Our Kenting trips?

Yes, we went so many times, for the air, the ocean breeze,(although sometimes it could be so strong that you can hardly call it a "breeze") the only tropical atmosphere in Taiwan, for a while the surfing, and recently the only place that serves the very good chicken burritos and Margaritas.

Our daily routines?

Swimming, doing yoga for about 3 hours by the excellent Olympic size pool overlooking the ocean before brunch, resting, reading, practicing trumpet(Dan), playing with the rabbits in the afternoon and repeat the swimming, yoga routine while watching sunset before dinner. Sounds therapeutic and healthy? Yes, very. Then, it's time to reward ourselves: go to dinner and get drunk!!!

 Ouverture:


Brought a book with me, waiting for my nephew to finish his violin lesson, although it was probably the coldest and the most rainy day of the whole winter, sitting in the hotel's 38F lounge, enjoying a glass of light Italian white, some appetizers and the misty view of Taipei, could be still pretty romantic.

You got picture windows all around.

Foggy today, quite suitable for James Joyce.
