Our Great Scooter Adventure

Don't tell mom--we rented a scooter.

A trip to Matsu

Matsu is a group of ROC islands about 2 miles from China. They are military outposts where most people you meet are soldiers. Antonio and I took an overnight ferry to the islands and visited two of them, Nangan and Beigan.

Two Beaches--Fulong and Baishawan

It is hot and the beaches are cool.

Yamingshan's Lilies

Incredible lily fields in the middle of Yamingshan Park. I missed the blooming period but it was still impressive.

Dragon Boat Festival Parade

Pictures of this parade don't do it justice. It was the noisiest parade I have ever experienced: fireworks, gongs, drums, amplified brass horns and every other noise maker you could imagine-all to drive away evil spirits and make way for the arrival of the various good gods.
