We have been so busy recently, between trying to pack and spending time with friends, that I have fallen behind on this blog. I will try to post a couple pictures from each activity with a brief description so everyone can see what kind of fun we are having!
Here we go... Last Wednesday was Dragon Boat Festival... It is one of the two national holidays that students and teachers get the day off work/school. Last week I posted on the dragon boat races that the student participated in. Well the festival is very much like that event only larger. Unfortunately Nantou County is the only county in Taiwan that doesn't have races to observe. So several of Justin's co-workers decided to take us to do pottery, lunch, a paper church, a winery and for some fresh juice. I didn't get pictures of everything but I hope you can enjoy the photos we did take.
Here are some of the teachers that took us on our trip.
Our work is done!
Usually by the time we get around to lunch we are so hungry that we forget to take pictures of our food. Sorry, just know that it was delicious. Below is a photo of the winery that we stopped at. We bought some wine eggs... They were actually very good!
This is a cute little restaurant, not the one we ate at, but picture worthy because it is so cute.
Behind the cute teachers is the paper church. It was donated to Taiwan after the 9/21 earthquake.
Finally we made it home and one more task for the day. We have to stand eggs on their ends. If we can do it then we will have good luck for the next year... we did it! Lucky us!
Ok that all happened last Wednesday! I am telling you we have been very busy. So now for this past weekend. Justin, Noah and I went to Catoun for the day on Saturday to do a little shopping and have lunch.
After a full day of shopping and walking around town we were only home about five minutes before Adrian shows up to take us out for the evening. We went to a dragon dance concert in Taichung. It was performed by college students. We weren't allowed to take photos and video in the performance but I can tell you it was amazing.
We have to wait in line to get tickets for the show. Adrian is picking on Noah only because Noah started it... but it is all done in fun! You can see what Noah did here.
After the show we headed to McDonald's for a late dinner. We ran into a few girls having a fun evening that wanted to to take a picture with us.
Ok that was our Saturday... Now on to Sunday. Justin got up early and went to the river with a student and his family. Noah and I didn't go because I am not into getting bit by mosquitos. They found a few critters...
