Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!

OK, so you have to click on the picture to see the extent of my Santa girth (isn't much at all), but I wanted to get the Buddhist temple in the background. This is in XinBeitou, just outside Taipei city to the North. We climbed a windy mountain road to get to this hilltop sanctuary. What peace. Made me think about becoming a monk.

But then I thought about the pig we saw on our way up the mountain:

Mmm... and I thought twice. And look! There's the belly I'm missing on the cook! He'd make a good Santa. Instead he is cooking the prize pig for a Christmas feast in front of Lotus Spa Hotspring Hotel (we made reservations yesterday for our anniversary next week at this same hotel -- hot spring water piped right into a jacuzzi jet tub in your hotel room! Can't wait!)
