Lòoks a lot like taro.
5 years agoTaste in food is such an odd thing, and for me a bit uncontrollable. Maybe it’s because I have no sense of smell or taste, but visuals and texture are really important factors. How about I imagine eating some of these meals, and you imagine enjoying them?
5 years agoWe are looking forward to seeing you back here in Portland . We'll miss your blogs but can't really say anything since we seem to be housebound ourselves, and we don't even have Dodie's excuse. Enjoy your remaining time in Taiwan, and eat some of that food on our behalf!
5 years agoYes! I hadn't thought of it that way. Here's to getting off and pushing .. when riding up a ridiculous hill is just too much.
5 years agoIt really was a shame. We gave some thought to sitting on the benches across the lane and waiting awhile.
5 years agoIt is crazy big. Many of these statues are huge though. I wonder if it’s the insecurity of living on a small island that drives them to it.
5 years agoActually, we should get credit too for finally realizing it’s fine to get off and push on occasion.
5 years agoYes, always look on the up side.
5 years agoActually, your journals have been great. You have been so diligent in doing them just about every day. That's work!! I know because I failed at that and sometimes I was weeks late in posting. I admire your discipline and energy. Your journals are always informative and interesting with lots of photos to illustrate what you are talking about. Thank you.
I'm glad you decided to end the trip early. If things don't feel perfect you might as well make such a decision. You've been on the road long enough for now, not only on this particular trip but most of the past year you have been riding!
Well there goes OUR winter. We had been counting on getting through this cold drizzle of a winter by following your adventures daily. It's one thing to leave Dodie in a lurch but us too?!! At least I'll be able to have coffee with you in person while it drizzles outside. I guess that's something. And we're looking forward to having you over for dinner and warming by the fire.
5 years agoI'm laughing at how big that statue is.
5 years agoAt least you got a good photo.
5 years agoI'm feeling some relief knowing that you'll be back home for a comforting dose of familiarity and friendship. (Wish we were there for a Hostile Actor reception!)
And rest!! There's no place like home to rest and re-set.
So grateful to you both for so beautifully documenting your grand adventure on CycleBlaze. Thank you for the daily inspiration and entertainment.
And thanks for timing your return to Portland so that Dodie continues to benefit from your blog during the first part of her recovery.
I almost didn't want to give this photo a like, because I don't enjoy pain.
But I'll give it a like to reward you both for your strength and determination.
Oh, for goodness sake. I’ve known of taro forever, but never known what the plant actually looks like. Thanks!
