Chapter 17 PICTURES!

Dog Pile Teacher Tanier! The little ones love playing 'Down by the Banks'....this one particular day, after singing and playing 'Down by the Banks,' the kids had a sudden urge to dog pile ME! Who knows where that came from...but it was sure funny!

Before the rugrats wrestled me to the ground....oh I feel it coming!

It's HERE!

....and it's gone!


Some of my cute little SPE's in their matching Chinese School Uniforms! All the kids have to wear uniforms to Chinese School, and a lot of the children just wear their uniforms to Maryland since they come straight from Chinese School to our cram school.

Andy, Reece, and Joe

Tim and Joe (AKA...The HELLIAN...the one I always used to talk about. This little rugrat is actually pretty good now).


TAITUNG ROAD TRIP!

Our sweet ride to the East Coast....a long six hour drive, but the trip was well worth every minute of it!


A little somethin' somethin' that we saw on our roadtrip....seriously, where do I live! SWEETNESS!

Amazing view of Taitung and the beach. Palm Trees, Mountains, blue ocean water....nothing gets better than this!


Sea Shell hunting along the beach of Taitung! We found the best shells! Oh to be a kid again.


Torry's hometown is beautiful.


Eight Arch Bridge and Sanxiantai Island



Eight Arch Bridge! One of the top tourist spots on the East coast....the bridge was built to connect Taiwan to Sanxiantai Island.


Me, Joseph, and Leongan walking across the dragon-like bridge....


On the dock walking to the island!


Some sweet pools of clear, clear water on the island....engulfed with colorful fish too!


Before entering the errie coral caves! Oooh, spooky! We were all holding hands through that dark mess. I couldn't even see my hand in front of my face.


Climbing down from the highest peak on the island. Boy it sure was windy up there, what a view though!


Group Shot! Me, Joseph, Torry, and Leongan


BIKE RIDE THROUGHOUT TAITUNG

How often can you say you see a bright pink and green car? Check out that side mirror too, mid hood on the car....classic!


On our bike ride through the park we found this awesome lake...clear, blue water with little trees breaking through the surface...such a gorgeous day!


Coastal bike ride....this cool frame made a great pic! It was actually designed by one of the members of the ward in Taitung.


Outside Torry's grandparents house....what a humbling experience!


Torry's grandparents neighborhood in Taittung....short little houses...


Now, when do you see someone washing their clothes by hand? Probably one of the greatest sights ever!

You look GREAT. Have you lost weight? I'm sure living on Rice and meat has mad the pounds fall off. Now, don't get me wrong, you didn't need to lose weight before, but you know just those subtle changes, I can immediately tell. Love you so much. You look great. Can't wait to see you!!!
