I guess its time for another installment of Taiwan trippin'

Or something..well, I guess it has been about a week, so I should continue with the Taiwan pics. On our second day there Amy informed us that her son Abner would be happy to drive us around all day to see whatever we want since he didn't have class that day. We tried to say that he didn't need to do that...but resistance was futile. So we decided to go up and check out Danshui a well know port up on the coast. There was quite a bit of rain that day, so we might look kind of soggy. Ok, so my eyes are kinda closed in this picture, but it was the best shot I had of this bridge. This is the Qin ren qiao(if I knew how to type characters I would put them on here) or "valentines bridge". Not really sure why they call it that, but it was pretty.

The following two signs are for the restroom, but we thought they were funny/cute.Ben kept commenting on how good the ice cream looked, so we went and got him one. Abner thought it would be funny to buy the large one for Ben. They weren't kidding about it being large. It was mango flavored-pretty tasty too.We were going to go check out this historic site from when the Dutch colonized the island (which I didn't know had happened), but they were closed, so we checked out the big christian university nearby. Here we are by the giant sign.

We drove the long way home --in fact we taught Abner a new phrase, "scenic route", and got to see some more of the ocean. Yes, I'm looking really cool in this picture.I liked this picture cause this guy has this really long fishing pole (kinda hard to tell from the photo), but I really wish I had taken a picture of the sign right next to me that said no fishing. Ben and Abner being cool I guess. Uh I just like the color of the water in this one.

There was this neat land bridge along the side of the highway. Ben and I raced up the stairs on either side. I'm sure I won...

And right across the street was this temple.
