In the city of Keelung

Yesterday we arrived in Keelung and we were immediately greeted by our new Rotarian hosts. It's always a warm welcome, they make us feel right at home.

Keelung is situated in the northern part of Taiwan and the harbour faces the Pacific Ocean. This area is also known for its fresh seafood - YUM!

After a morning of travel, we relaxed at 'Jackies' a quaint bakery/coffee shop downtown. This shop is owned by Jack, who is also a Rotarian. We were all treated to delicious cappuccinos and ice cream. ~ thanks Jack!

We then went to the 50th anniversary Charter Ceremony of Keelung South RC. They had special guests from Japan and Korea RC. There was dancing, singing, and stage acts. Dinner was a 10 course meal- nothing out of the ordinary. It was quite the celebration!

Today we went to the Juming Museum. Large sculptures and wood carvings were displayed throughout. The artist, Ju Ming's primary influence was his mother, family and life at home. It was a great tour today.

Tomorrow we are lighting the sky lanterns. Stay tuned....
