We spent our last full day in Taiwan exploring more of Taipei. We started the day by taking a nice relaxing walk through 228 Memorial Peace Park, the oldest park in Taipei (known as Taipei Park when it first opened). After World War II when the KMT government took over from the Japanese there was … Continue reading

Beitou/Xinbeitou hot springs and the Lover’s Bridge in Danshui – Taiwan Trip 2013, part 2
On our second day in Taiwan we got up bright and early (this is customary when Dan and I go on vacation. As someone who loves sleeping in, I never thought that I would be an early bird go-getter type as an adult). After having a quick breakfast at the hotel we took the MRT … Continue reading
From HKG to TSA – Taiwan Trip 2013, part 1
I’ve been meaning to recap our trip to Taiwan for a while now. After ringing in the New Year in Hong Kong, Dan and I decided to spend our first week of 2013 in Taiwan. I’ve always wanted to go to Taiwan because my dad was born and raised there. I recently did a food … Continue reading
I run for chocolate – The Chocolate Race 10 miler
In May 2013, Dan and I ran The Chocolate Race in St. Catharine’s. I had heard good things about this race and was especially lured by the promise of chocolate (on the course and at the finish) and pink champagne at the finish. With so many goodies at this race how could I resist? Dan … Continue reading
What we ate in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is known for their food, so I decided to do a post highlighting some of the food we ate when we were travelling there at the end of December 2012 and early January 2013. (Read my post on things we did for more information about the trip). There is so much to eat … Continue reading

At the end of the day, you’ve just got to say it’s alright – St John’s 2013
Since I recently posted about how we spent Labour Day weekend in 2012, I thought I’d write about how we spent Labour Day weekend in 2013 too (this will also help distract me from all of the snow we’ve been getting lately). Once again we found ourselves travelling. This time we were headed to St. … Continue reading
There’s no stopping us right now – Las Vegas trip
I’ve been meaning to recap my trip to Vegas for a while now. There was no running involved with this trip (though we were training for the Disneyland Half at the time and brought our running stuff just in case). Who were we kidding though? We were in Vegas! So instead, this post has a … Continue reading
May Madness
Wow! Where did May go? The last month has been pretty busy and it looks like I have a summer full of adventures with good friends and good food ahead of me. The biggest news that I have from the month of May is that I took the plunge and signed up for my first … Continue reading
Holla holla duck! – Newfoundland trip (St. John’s)
After leaving Nova Scotia, we were off to Newfoundland! The flight was pretty uneventful and Amy and Sophie met us at the airport. Sophie was only five-months-old at the time and it was our first time meeting her. Amy was nice enough to be our tour guide for the day in St. John’s. Since it … Continue reading
