In March I had the wonderful opportunity to host my dad and sister in Taiwan for one week. It was awesome being able to share my love for this beautiful country. It is one thing to talk about a place but it is completely different to experience it firsthand. After just a few days, really just a few hours, of being in Taiwan they both understood why I love it here so much. It is a great feeling knowing that they share my love for my home away from home.
During their stay, we rented a car and had ourselves a cross-Taiwan road trip. We ventured from Taichung to Puli, across the Cross Central Highway to Hualien, down the coast to Taitung, across some ocean to Green Island, through the mountains to Kaohsiung and back up the plains to Taichung. We really squeezed everything that Taiwan has to offer into those four days.
