Saturday... What a Wonderful Thing!



One of my favorite things about Taiwan is despite the fact it is considered one of the most densely populated spots on the earth, country with lots of green and fresh air can be easily reached in under an hour. For us, its about 20 minutes! 


That's our city, Taichung!


Somewhere in that mass of humanity is Morrison Academy and our humble abode. Carl and Jacob were able to locate the baseball stadium which is very near our apartment, but my "no longer see sharp details in the distance" eyes could not (sigh).


Ben and Abbi were on their class retreats;  the juniors were camping and the seniors traveled north to the capital city of Taipei. I decided I needed a breath of clean green country air, so Carl, Jacob, and I headed out for another scooter adventure.


We ended up here... 


The most northern point of Taichung City- Wind Moving Rock.

We hiked.


We climbed.
(Well, at least Jacob did.)




We saw beautiful vistas and interesting wildlife.

The shiny spot in the middle was the spider. The sun was illuminating it!




A new shoot of bamboo. The outside was soft and velvety.

But even out among God's beauty, evidence of satan's deception!



It was an enjoyable time, until the mosquitoes decided to join our hiking party. At that point, the fun quickly disappeared!
