HOP train trip to Ping-Xi valley

We recently visited the Ping-Xi valley by train. It's a nice little country spot not too far from Taipei.
Fiona is about 35 weeks old now. I'm getting bigger, and it's more difficult to move. Everyone tells me "You should walk and take stairs more now!" It's easier to say it than to do it.

Fiona現在在我的肚子裡約35周,行動越來越困難。每個人都說,「你該多爬樓梯。」說比做要容易多了!這次的短行我們去了菁桐、平溪、和十分。說實在走了不少路,大家也都覺得我很厲害呢。

Five Fingers Mountain

There's a great little viewpoint on top of a mountain near our house -- it's called Five Fingers Mountain. This spot attracts lots of locals, a few mobile coffee shops, and even vendors selling wild boar. Looking right, you can see Taipei 101 and the buildings of downtown. Looking left, you can see Keelung Mountain, Juifen village and even the Pacific Ocean. The full moon rose in the East, just before it was time for us to go home.
