There and back again...a travler's tale


Well, the Vacation to Hualien went well. We traveled on a bus the whole way.At first we were excited, but after a few hours, we could not wait to get off the bus. Stopping frequently, to get off the bus and explore was our only consolation of not getting too car sick.

Riding on the road was a little scary sometimes, because of the typhoon, most of the road had fallen off into the ocean. So during some of our trip we would be looking down into the ocean as we drove past. While most of sane people would just not talk about it, and pray for the best; Hannah and I were talking the whole time about what would happen if we fell, how we would get off the bus, sharks, and the possibility of death for everyone. Isn't that an interesting discussion?

After about a ten hour trip, we finally got to our destination. There we rested, and started another day of touring. We saw beaches, went shopping, saw awesome mountains, and got to grow closer together as a whole. But, I must say, all of us were happy to get home.
Please remember us in prayer, alot of the group is sick with a virus that seems to be going around. I have not got it yet, and I really hope I don't.

Great Pics! And such a quick update too, only a week inbetween... Awesome!!!!

Looks like you guys had a great vacation, dispite the 10 ride of potential death!!! I can say for sure we're all glad none of those scenarios you were talking about on the way there came true!!!!
