Taichung/Miaoli

Teachers Field trip. Bus to Taichung.

Bathroom break in Sanyi:



We arrive in Taichung and head out on double-seated bikes. The weather was so nice, and most of us were overdressed and despite jacket removal, were too hot. It was so nice to be too hot, and not too cold.


Biked by the Shihgang Dam:


There's an egret in there somewhere.


We ate lunch at a farm.



From there we bused to Miaoli for hot springs. I opted for strawberry picking instead. Several of us ventured to this strawberry farm.



We'd boarded the buses and were ready to set off, but we stopped at a shopping area in Dahu thoroughly devoted to the strawberry. Said berry products abound. I didn't try a strawberry egg tart, but went for the rum egg tart instead. I couldn't taste any rum though.


After Dahu, we drove back to Zhongli.

Strawberries! Too hot? Strawberries! Riding bikes? Strawberries! Cherry/plum blossoms?

Strawberries???

We went for a walk yesterday because it was soooo sunny; we used our snowshoes. :-(
