Tamshui- Fisherman's Warf & A boat ride to Lover's Bridge

It was a great day today in Tamshui-Taipei Lots to see and great company. We first toured the old British Embassy and learned the history of the great Canadian Dr. George Mackay (March 21, 1844 – June 2, 1901) He was the first Presbyterian missionary to northern Formosa (Taiwan). He served with the Canadian Presbyterian Mission. Mackay is among the best known Westerners to have lived in Taiwan. We paid our respects as we passed his statue.

We then took a ferry across the harbour, saw fisherman's wharf and the famous Lover's Bridge. Our team( family) is getting very close and took some 'heart-warming' photos here :-)

We had a lovely afternoon site-seeing and enjoying the warm weather.

Below I have included some of my vocational visits to some of the nearby hospitals. The healthcare is top- notch in Taiwan and I'm learning a lot.
