Family Time at the Beach

 

Exploring the North Coast

Some friends took our kids camping a couple of weekends ago, so Andy and I took advantage of the day without them and headed up to explore the north coast of Taiwan.  It was BEAUTIFUL!!  We were so thankful for our friends who took the kids AND for a day to ourselves (it is a VERY RARE thing)!

The view from a little mining town.  The island on the right is Keelung Island.

Of course we had to try and get a picture of the two of us....even though by this time we had hiked around the mining town and were "glowing" from the lovely heat (ok, we were sweating!)!

A fisherman.

According to a bus driver who was resting in the parking lot (I probably woke him up from his nap...oops), this was a Japanese outpost of some sort from the time when the Japanese occupied Taiwan.  I would love to explore this place someday!

I love the sight of the mountains coming up out of the ocean!  It reminds me of just how amazing God is!
