3 days into our Journey

We are currently sitting on the train from the southern part of Taiwan to Taipei. We are 4 1/2 hours away from meeting Jahsin!!!
It has been a whirlwind couple of days. The flight was very long and Jaxon only slept for 5 hours. I think he would have slept the rest of the way but they turned all the lights on 5 hours before landing to feed us breakfast. When we landed my mom and uncle met us at the airport because we were unable to get a connecting flight to the south where my moms family lives and so they met us and we had to drive 5 hours to get to my aunts farm. Poor Jaxon was so tired of being couped up but he did very well. He was very confused because here they do not use car seats so he got to sit up front on my moms lap. We have done a lot of visiting and of course a lot of eating. We were staying at my Aunts house till Monday, and sleeping in her master room. It is very nice but they sleep on a very old fashion bed that was built by her husband. Basically it is a wooden box with a sheet on it. Every bone in my body is hurting! but we appreciate the fact that we have somewhere to stay for the weekend.
I have some many stories to share to with all of you, I hope I don't forget them.
For all my Guatemala "Girlfriends" I never thought I would be doing this again but I am throwing my toilet paper in the trash can! Jaxon thinks this is to funny :)
There are a lot bugs around, and for anyone who knows me, knows what a huge fan of reptiles I am. They are everywhere!!! I was taking a shower the other night and one decided decided to join me in the bathroom. Matt thought I was hurt when I screamed and came running in worried just to find me in the corner and wanting him to turn off the water so I wouldn't have to get close to it. We have also eaten a lot of interesting foods, such as goats meat, baby octopus , and chicken with its head still on. Jaxon thinks its funny its watching us eat.
I will hopefully be able to post some pictures tomorrow. For now I will go, I can't wait to post some pics tomorrow!!!
