Counting down the days....

2009 is just about over, and what a year this has been!
The more we know about Hualien, the more it feels like home, and I mean Victoria.
These two cities have much in common: both are similar in size and population, both are retirement towns, and both are islands in the Pacific. Only difference is the language, culture, and the weather.

Like the goose in Victoria, here in Hualien we have a similar trail for bikers, walkers and runners, which stretches 35km along the waterfront, and ends at a lake just outside of the city. The waterfront here is like Dallas road in Victoria, but longer.

Frankie and Rebecca loves biking here because there is no traffic allowed except bikes and pedestrians. After a bike ride, we can go beach combing, or just watching the waves crashing to shore.

It is hard to go hungry in Taiwan, as there are food vendors everywhere. Here we reward ourselves with some roasted yams, yum!
