| Sun Moon Lake just before sunset |
I WAS lucky! The Taizhong Toastmasters had been planning a weekend to Sun Moon Lake and I happened to arrive at the meeting three days before the event. Right away I knew I wanted to go and was delighted when they said OK.
Drove up with Bill and Miranda (Bill is a retired guy who married Miranda an has lived in Taiwan for some time.) We went up the cable car. Took lots of photos which are on my Flickr site:

In the evening we stayed at Jason's (parents') mansion in the hills. Next day we went on a number of trips on scary,winding mountain roads to Aboriginal sites and the dam that supplies water for the lake.

What made the trip the most fun was the people. Some are local and some have come from far away, but they seem to share a bond of support, caring and having fun together. It goes far beyond the original goal of encouraging members to develop their public speaking skills. I could never have managed so much exploration of the region by myself.
Tomorrow I go on to Tainan, but I will return to Taizhong and hope to keep in touch with them all.
