Jhiuefen Villiage

















































Todd(Michelle's hubby) and Travis rubbing the lucky rock in Keelung. I rubbed it lots also...















































































































Keelung is a port and absolutely great views of the shipyards and such, It was a little dreary because we were out in the eye of the storm. No big deal though. Trey enjoyed chasing the pigeons and Mr. Yeh playing Grandpa Jie Jie and letting him ride the toys. This is where Mr.Yeh grew up and he showed us where he use to live. He told us some great stories about his childhood. We then headed up the coast and saw an amazing display of the angry ocean during the end of a typhoon. Yeiliu Park was closed due to the storm. It was a nice ride out there anyways. We then walked through Jhiufen villiage and shopped a little and ate a little. They really have some great yummies if you aren't feeling car sick........ Then back to the hotel dinner and bath for my little guy. Still the best trooper I have ever seen. He has done so great... Still waiting to see a meltdown. No tears yet. No problems other then he is very busy. But what 5 yr old isn't...
yeah I think he is truly our little guy.... AWNRY! And a great Teaser!!!!
