taiwan tour

Sam and I are leaving for our Tour of Taiwan today. :)

I am so excited!! 

School is now over.  Grades are turned in.  We've had our final departmental meeting.  Our Summer English Camp is even over too!  My office at school is all packed and in boxes.  It is time to party and to explore, to go and to see!!

We are going to Meinong this weekend (where I lived for a year).   Then we will go all the way north to my friend's home.  From there, we will travel up to see things in Tapei (like the world's tallest building and art that is thousands of years old).  Then on our way back down south, we will visit a friend in Taichung and then spend a day in Tainan.

Have I mentioned that I am excited?  I might even be more excited than Sam!  (Although, he begs to differ.)

There is only one damper to all this excitement that we have to battle. :(  A typhoon is coming!!  Just now, as I was typing, it started to rain.  So I popped over to the weather site for Taiwan and found this:






You see all those little rain clouds right?  One for every single day of our trip!!!  :(  This little chart and the rain outside my window made me go from this:





To this:





But . . . I guess we will just have to try and have fun in the rain because we are going to go on our Taiwan Tour no matter what!!  But, we will make safe choices, Mom and NeeNee--I promise.

And, regardless of the weather, we will take lots of pictures to share with you when we come back around the 18th.  So, see you again then!
