Street Market in Danshuei

Saturday was our best day here so far.  We had a great day with a friend who took us out to Danshui (see previous post).
Our trip started with a walk through a busy market.  There were so many things to see and taste.  It was a little bit of a sensory overload.  But in a good way.

Barbecued squid

I had a bite of fried octopus that was delicious (not the squid from above).  We also tried this amazing fruit that tasted kind of like a cross between a tomato and a melon.  Really refreshing after walking around in the heat!


There were so many tastes and sights, it's hard to decide what pictures to post here.  I wish I could post them all!



I think these were cockles or some sort of small snail/mollusk thing.  They are supposed to be good to snack on when drinking beer.

A distinctly Taiwanese food - sausage in a sausage bun with some cucumber on top - didn't get to try one but can't wait to!  It looked and smelled delicious!

One of the things we tried for lunch.  It was thin noodles wrapped in some sort of tofu/egg kind of packet and covered with a peanut tasting broth that was a little bit spicy.

A Day in the Life

Quote of the Week

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.
