Soaking up the sights!!

Since today was our second last day with some of Rotary district 3490's local clubs, we tried to soak up as many sights as possible!

I started my day off a little earlier this morning to go for a bike ride with my wonderful host. It was a great way to start my day :). After I met with the group, we all journeyed to the national palace museum which was PHENOMENAL!! Unfortunately it was quite busy and we couldn't stay long. But, lucky for us, we were being guided by Taiwan's best and were still able to see some of the most precious arts.

In the afternoon we visited a garden which was on the property of the Shilin main presidential residence. The flowers there were beautiful! We also had some fun playing with puppets used in Taiwanese theatre at a museum during the mid-afternoon before taking the bus to XinZhuang old street. Once we got to the old street we visited two temples and a drum building business which is famous across the world. It was so much fun getting to bang on some of the drums there!

Tomorrow we will be taken to our last vocational visits by a new rotary club so dinner tonight was a farewell party at Chateau de Chine Hotel. Delicious and eventful... As dinners always are with our Taiwanese friends :)
