Elephant Mountain

       Endless steps to get to the top of Elephant Mountain                                                                                                        

Bob likes to walk one hour to the bottom of Elephant Mountain and climb the 1,145 steps to the top for exercise.  At the top there is beautiful view of Taipei; and Taipei 101, the tallest building in the city. When Taipei 101 was built it was the tallest building in the world.  Bob has wanted me to go and see the view, but it has been summer time and the heat was giving me an excuse for not going with him.  But now it is the middle of September, and my opportunity has arrived. So on our "P" day, September 16th we first rode the bus to bottom of Elephant Mountain ( needed to conserve my energy for the steps). 

Is this suppose to be fun?

This is only about half way up and the city view
 is impressive with Taipei 101 on center stage.
 

Bob took this picture of the view from the top of Elephant Mt, to help motivate me to climb every step next attempt.  I only climbed a little more than half way this first time.  I was concerned that if I went clear to the top that I might not be able to walk to the Temple the next day.  My motto is conserve and use caution, which is different from my husband.
