We are going back to the US tomorrow, Sunday.
There were several activites going on today. My two nieces both had school fairs. I chose to go to the one that was at my old high school. It did not bring back a lot of memories because it looked very different now.

My sister belongs to a playback group called "The Witch Theater". She was performing in her daughter's school when we were visiting.

Laura and my hometown Tamshui, Taipei 
蘿拉和淡水河 Breakfast at McDonald's
麥當勞的早餐
This morning Laura, her cousins and I went to have breakfast at McDonald's. Then we took a walk along the river bank. The rain had stopped but it was still cool, around 18 degrees celsus.
I found one inexpensive Japanese kimono for Laura, and one for myself in the morning market outside of my parents' house, even though I probably won't not have any opportunity to wear it.
I was glad that my brother had bought a lot of tea for us. Thanks! With all the gifts, my luggage is getting heavier.
Class Reunion
同學會
Then I headed for Taipei to meet with my classmates. We were supposed to meet in a restaurant at 11:30 am.I was the first one to arrive. Over all there were 8 adults and three kids. I did not remember to take pictures of everyone. I had a good time seeing these friends. We had lunch and chatted until 4:30 pm.
I did not take Laura along. She went to my sister's house to play. When I arrived home, it was 6:00 pm. Very soon we would have another party.
My big family
My Brother's Birthday
哥哥生日
In the evening we celebrated my brother's 47th birthday with a big cake from the bakery. We took some group photos, and I used Photoshop to remove the background from the photo, as you can see above.
I brought a large Chocolate Easter Bunny from the US. The children were very interested in the bunny, and each took pictures with it one by one. It was a bit sad to eat the bunny, but it tasted very good!
Chocolate Bunny and Laura
Fainally it was Saturday! Yes! Everybody was home except my parents.They went on a tour this weekend.
We went to a steak house in Tamshui for lunch. It had been pouring the past few days, so we didn't have any plan to go anywhere far.
I ordered chicken on a hot grill for myself, and noodles for Laura. The food was tasty. It was especially fun to watch the children's expressions and their interactions in the restaurant.
I felt warm and touched in my heart to see that Laura was loved by her wonderful relatives.
After this, Luara and her cousins went out to a kid's store to have some fun by themselves.
