Ilha Formosa

"To the Japanese, the island was 'Takasag'. Later the Chinese name 'Taiwan' was adopted. In 1590, Linschotten, a Dutch navigator on a Portuguese vessel, sailing along the west coast of the island was so impressed with the lush beauty of the coastal plan that he located the island on the chart as 'Ilha Formosa', the Beautiful Island." Formosa, W.G. Goddard

Capitol City

We'll be off, momentarily, to the capitol city of Taiwan, Taipei. We shall see some sight in the city, then come down through the mountains on the East side of the Island back to TaiChung Sunday night (Sat night American time).

Please pray for traveling mercies and health. I was sick Tuesday night from what we guess was slight food poisoning or just my system getting too sensitive.

See ya in 4 days!

Wait, wait, wait....

"Momentarily"? So, you're going, but just for a moment, and then you'll be back?

(I thought Dad had ranted and raved about the abuse of that word enough to get it stuck in all of our heads ;) )

Nothing like a short bout of sickness to get you feeling comfortable in a strange land. Glad you're better. We miss you!!
