On Board Lunch

We enjoyed an old style traditional meal, served the way they were when the train ran in 1900.

Brick Factory

Huge complex by the side of the railroad, this facility still uses wood to fire the bricks.

We were told it was a school

These buildings were large and well-kept, the conductors told us they were part of a large school.

New International Airport Terminal

It looked beautiful from the road, and was very nice inside as well.

Happy Hour

Read a little, wallow a little, and sip on a cold one!

Monsoon Season

The annual northeastern monsoon usually starts in November and often brings heavy rains and floods. It was sunny in the morning, and would cloud up in the afternoon.

Off Shore Islands

The April 2015 Earcos conference is scheduled here and we will be sure to visit the islands then.

Breakfast on the Balcony

What a wonderful spot to sip on a coffee and read the paper.

Sutera Marina

Incredibly picturesque! It was relaxing to sit and look out over the marina at the gorgeous yachts.

Arriving at Jinlun

It was a 2 hour relaxing train ride from Kaohsiung. It is located just outside of Taitung on the Pacific side of Taiwan.

Pon finishing her 10K run

This was Pon's first marathon, and she was delighted, no, ecstatic to have been able to finish ahead of Lena! She is one competitive girl!

The Runners

Our job was to cheer them on and drink beer while waiting for them to return. Way to go girls!

Taitung Hot Springs

This area is renowned for their mineral hot springs, and what better way to unwind than to soak in this 42 degree water. We had a great time visiting with the locals.
