Reflexology Path? Taipei City Wall

City Wall Taipei

The very pretty urban park at City Wall entailed a slope with mulch surface as well as a stone path (reflexology path see below photo).  This one was a very pleasant one with big flat uniform stones.

I loved taking off my shoes walking back and forth between the Beiman Subway Station and our hotel in downtown Taipei.


However, I never saw anyone else taking off their shoes, and yes, the area was never very busy when we passed through there, although there is heavy motor cycle traffic.


Could it be that this was not an official reflexology path?  I noticed other areas embellished with river rocks, at times in unusual places, e.g. under a bench.  And there were these tiny pebble squares along a sidewalk which I started referring to as reflexology paths for 👶.

Dragonfly: When Time Was Not Money (Labor Day Weekend)

Regaining Strength

I was studying, practicing and hanging out with Mowgli on the dock.  But I was also letting myself get interrupted and admired the mostly red dragonflies and other activity on the lake, when I noticed a blue dragonfly in the water.  

It seemed to be struggling and got tired quickly, so I got into the kayak and brought it on land.

One of the wings was damaged, but after cheering it on, petting its back gently (that was the reflexology part), but mostly just holding and admiring its' beauty, it regained strength quickly and the wings started moving faster and faster.  After about two minutes, it flew off.  I was secretly hoping for a visit the next day.
