Macu for the soul

This saturday as I woke up at nearly 12:30 I wasn't certain that the day would turn up with much or that I would even make it out of bed for that matter!
However, with some more motivated friends than myself we decided to head to the Ocean Side cafe. A small restaurant along the road looking out over the edge of the Kaohsiung harbor. Once we got there I was so thrilled that I had made that decision. The food menu is just snacks but we all chose some great options and debated about which drink to pick.
We ended up with the quesadillas and an assortment of artsy drinks!










As we enjoyed the view and of course the company, we decided that after lunch we would head up the side of Monkey Mountain for an afternoon hike. It was a beautiful, but very smoggy, Taiwan day. Its been warm lately which has been nice because it was pathetic that I was starting to think low 60's are cold!! We didn't see too many monkeys along the way just a few that startled me too much to even snap a photo! Plus I've heard they could take your camera if their feeling feisty! Side note-- I feel like if Kyndell were a monkey she would snatch people's cameras left and right :)
As I headed home I stopped at our favorite tea shop, MACU, and got a GIANT passion fruit, orange green tea. One of the best parts about asia are these teas!!
Tomorrow we're headed to some near by mud volcanoes. I'm sure you'll hear my take on them quite soon! 
Happy Ground Hog Day!
PS-- If Phil and Willy (the canadian g hog) dont agree which one gets the call? 
Peace
