Away, Far Off Into the Sea

July 19, 2008
Cousin Grace being swallowed by a wave at Yilan Beach, northern Taiwan (couple hours outside of Taipei)

Before the happenings of the previous picture.

"Honeymoon Bay", Yilan

Picnic before swim. Er Yi prepared lots of dishes and rice.

Cheers for being in a country that doesn't vilify drinking in public!

Kites. Grace bought one and flew it that day. When we got home we planned on flying it off the balcony but the day she tried there was no wind. Then we promptly forgot about it :[

I wanted this; Er Yi generously bought it for me.

It's a BUBBLE PIG!!!

Besides screaming and being struck down by the force of the waves (Yilan Beach is known for surfing), other activities included...

favorite pastime, Chinese chess

Healing massage a la Bali beach masseuses provided by Da Yi for Seligna's (aka Celestine) aching body.

Playing with a someone's dog that wandered over. After being furiously petted for 10 minutes and covered in black sand, it silently let out a lethal fart that caused us all to disperse and freed her to peacefully return to her owner. Dogs are so clever these days.

As night fell, we drove back towards Taipei, stopping for food at Keelung Nightmarket.



people everywhereeeee

Peace Out
