a Haulien Weekend

To say we have been busy feels a bit like an understatement... so I'm sure you understand that we haven't had much time to write lately, right? Crazy to think that we will fly out two weeks from today!

This past weekend, we ventured with our friends, Helen and Jaspher, to the eastern coast of Taiwan, famous for its rugged mountains and costal views. Initially, a typhoon threatened the whole trip, but we rearranged our schedule a bit and were still able to make it happen- yay!

We left eeeeearly Saturday morning. Helen and Jaspher were amazing hosts and tour guides for us, as they took us around to all of their favorite places. Without further ado, here is the photo tour...

It was a great weekend... we loved the chance to spend so much time with these friends, especially as we are leaving so soon.
