Note and reflections:

Several magical cows and friends came to play with flowers at Da-An Forest Park. So, my cross training this week was a bike ride to the park and the area to give the cows a visit. The forward ride was fine even though there was a strong resistant wind. I arrived the park just in time to catch a twilight setting on these cows and flowers. The beautiful lights eliminated the park after the sunlight was gone. Many with family were enjoying the flowers in a very fine winter weather. I finished a walk in about an hour before making my way back. However, just couple blocks east of the park, I decided to turn North and West heading to Taipei Main Station to find a notebook, but I could not remember where the store is. So, I decided to bike to Eslite bookstore near Taipei 101 before heading home.

It was a nice evening to ride there. The weather was perfect; however, the streets were crowded by bikers and walkers who took advantage of a nice weather as I did.
