CHANGHUA

Phil and I spent this past weekend in Changhua County, which is just north of Yunlin County. We hung out there with another foreign couple, Andi and Peter. Changhua City is home of the largest Buddha statue in Taiwan, so we went to see that. The temple that hosted the statue was located in a beautiful little park reserve that overlooked the city.

On Sunday, Andi and I participated in a 10.9K race in a small town in Changhua County, on the coast. The race was put on to raise money to help “Save the Sousa”. Sousa is a type of dolphin in Southeast Asia. Peter and Phil were troopers...they came with to cheer us on even though we all had to be up at 4:00 am to catch our shuttle bus! Thanks guys! The last part of the race was probably the best part...for multiple reasons :)...we ran on the top of a large concrete wall, right along the ocean. It’s kind of hard to explain, but it was nice!
