Lee had a fabulous idea to pick up some picnic food after school today and have dinner down by the sea. So that's what we did. First stop, the photo store to get our passport photos because in less than four weeks we're taking a trip to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand and we need to finish getting our paperwork done for our visas.

Second stop, the market. I recently learned that the afternoon markets we like to go to for produce and street food are called wet markets. That name differentiates them from produce markets that only sell fruit and vegetables, and night markets that are more like fairs, with lots of deep-fried food and games. At the wet market we picked up some fruit, salad and a sandwich from the grill:

Third stop, the harbor, where there's a very nice spot to watch the sunset. We got there just before the sun disappeared into the China Sea.

The air quality has really started to improve as we move out of the winter season and it was a beautiful evening. The moon is nearly full, with Jupiter hanging out nearby, and we saw Venus blink as the sky started to darken. The Kaohsiung skyline was quite lovely.
