National Palace Museum (June 9, 2009)故宮博物館 (June 9, 2009)
On June 6, Joanne, Tim, and I went to the National Palace Museum. The museum changes its displays every three months or so. This time, they featured ancient calligraphy, artwork, and pottery. There was no photography, of course, inside the museum, but we took some shots outside.

Mt. Datun West Peak (June 8, 2009)
Joanne, Tim, and I took a hike to the west peak of Mt. Datun in Yangmingshan National Park north of Taipei. The hike started out easy along a stone paved trail. After a while, it turned into a narrow footpath. One part of the trail tunneled through a cool tall grassy area. It finally headed straight up the side of Mr. Datun, with ropes in place to help hikers climb up.

Ghosts on the Roof (June 7, 2009)
After visiting the Confucius Temple and hanging out in the park by the Keelung River, Joanne, Tim, and I headed back home and hung out on the roof. We grilled up some dinner and then played with the night shot on Joanne’s Olympus camera. Beware of ghosts!

Dajia Waterfront (June 7, 2009)
After visiting the Confucius Temple, Tim, Joanne, and I headed over to the Lin Antai Family Homestead. But it was closed under construction, so we found a way to the river near the Dajia Wharf on the Keelung River upriver from the Yuanshan Hotel. We stayed there until sundown and watched the lights appear on the waterfront.

To the Top of Mt. Cising (June 6, 2009)
Joanne, Tim, and I hiked to the top of Mt. Cising (Seven Star Mountain). The trail began at SiaoYouGeng, a fumarole in the side of the mountain. It led to the West Peak and from there we also went to the East Peak before heading back.

Shilin and the Temple (June 3-4, 2009)
On June 3, Joanne, Tim, and I went to Shilin Night Market. If you look closely, you can find Joanne in the photo of the market street. The next day I took a few shots of the temple on the mountain across the valley from us from our apartment window.

Trip to Papago (May 31 – June 1, 2009)
One of my student’s parents had a voucher for a free night at Papago International Resort near Taitung that they couldn’t use, so they gave it to me. We took the opportunity to take Tim south on the train, show him some Taiwan countryside, and chill at the resort for two days. We rented bikes to ride out for food and found a strange roadside zoo with pygmy hippos and zebras and other strange animals. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera so didn’t get pics, but I think Tim got some. We spent time at the poolside while there, and otherwise just hung out and had a good time.
