Monday, May 11th

Today we went to a small pottery town. The original ceramics museum we were supposed to tour was closed, so Charlie found a little markety-village area where we walked around and shopped for a little while. Then we tried our hands at throwing on the wheel...I did well until it came time to finish my piece...and then it all fell apart and flew off the wheel. After we finished designing our pottery, we walked around to find lunch...again, 7 Eleven.

We left the pottery town and drove up on top of a mountain to a gorgeous spa resort. It had many pools with different types of water and temperatures...Danny and I went around sampling all of them together. My favorite was the warm pool with lots of different jets and seats. I also captured a few pics with my underwater disposable camera.

We drove back to Taipei and picked up our photo books from Lishe. Evening free-time consisted of Megan, Danny, and I returning to the same place where Crock and Rogan took us for dinner the night before for sunglasses and shoe-shopping. We found a TGI FRiday's for drinks and a snack and met Mitch, our super-awesome bartender who spoke wonderful English. Megan forgot her shopping bag so we had to go back after closing time and while we were there, scored Mitch's phone number...we didn't know how to work Taiwan numbers, unfortunately, so we never called him.
