Back to Bloggin

Well I miss blogging so after a break here I go again.

On April 5 we went rock hunting with some friends. It was a great way to spend the day. I really mean the day. We left our house at 5:30 AM and returned at 8:30 PM. Whew, and the only nap was in the van.

I only found one decent stone. Just getting an eye for it. However, the time slipped dreamily away. It was so peaceful to hear the river all day long.

By the way, the photo of the bridge shows women doing laundry the "old way" in the background, not rock hunting.

Rice Paddy and Rice Paddy with Old Building

This is the ride home from Changhua to Taichung. The price of rice, wheat and other food staples has risen and continues to rise a lot. Here the answer to the high prices is very Capitalist. Plant more rice. This is a common field of rice seen all over Taiwan. In some areas of the country farmers, really small farmers, plant only 1 time a year. In other areas they plant up to 4 times a year. The dark green rice paddies are very beautiful.
