There's nothing like a good night's sleep to make the world look so much better. I was up for a couple of hours in the middle of the night but that's not so bad and it gave me a chance to work on Sunday's NYTimes crossword puzzle. This morning wasn't quite so hot as the day before so we got out early on the bikes and rode down to the harbor. We arrived just in time to watch a cruise ship make its way through the very narrow mouth of the harbor.

We wondered if maybe the ship had gotten lost. It's hard to imagine how Kaohsiung got on a cruise itinerary. I love this city but it's not exactly a tourist destination. Apparently this ship sails out of Singapore and visits all the hot spots in this corner of the globe. Who knew?

On the way back from our bike ride we stopped at the Carrefour to do some shopping. It's not where we did the bulk of our shopping last year but we thought we'd try something new. I got a kick out of the aisle signs.

Now that the kitchen is restocked we're ready for work to get started. Tomorrow is the first of four days of meetings. There's a typhoon heading this way so maybe we'll only have three days of meetings. One can always hope.
