Beecher Cheese:
Beecher Cheese:
We got some Mac and Cheese, and some fresh curd. Yay!
Proof of Beard #14:
This is the Hollywoodian. A distinctive beard, if I say so myself.
Water Cube
Breakfast:
Breakfast was a delicious plate of fruit, yogurt from Buffalo New York, and a croissant. And tomato juice. And a bunch of coffee.
Snowshoe Party:
The resorts in North Lake Tahoe were mostly closed because of low visibility and high winds, so we went snowshoeing instead. I could very much get used to this!
We got about 3 feet of snow last night and more is on the way, so hoping we can enjoy the powder tomorrow.
Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Grounds:
The view facing East from the steps of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial. The Gate of Great Centrality and Perfect Uprightness is in the center o the frame, with the National Theater and the National Concert Hall on either side.
Martyrs’ Shrine:
The National Revolutionary Martyrs’ Shrine was established in 1969 to honor fallen Taiwanese soldiers. More info on wikipedia.
The darker lines leading towards the shrine aren’t from a vehicle, they’re actually from the guard’s boots as they walk back and forth, day after day, year after year. One solider in the middle and two on each side.
Brunch!:
Better together.
USA Today:
Turns out that a photo of me is in today’s USA Today!
An AP photographer took a photo of me getting really expensive gas in Menlo Park earlier this week. It showed up in a bunch of online editions of papers around the world, and then today is was in at least one nationwide print edition. Crazy!
Good stuff.
