Friends New and Old

People are SO good. That is message Taiwan tells me over and over. After a great day in Lu Gang, we headed to Hu Wei where Mister served. The beautiful Lee family (in Do Nan) took us in for several days. It was like home away from home.

They treated us to a delicious steak dinner our first night. Then, they invited friends from the LDS ward over. It was fun to see everyone catching up with Mister and loving on our kids.

What wonderful hosts are these!

The Lees live in a beautiful home that feels away from the busy city. Every morning we had fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden. Miss A LOVED Sister Lee like her own grandma.

While with the Lees, Ricky and his beautiful mother came to see us. Ricky traveled from school and his mom took a day off of work to show us more of the beautiful Taiwan.

Before heading up the mountain, we stopped for lunch. Taiwanese food is just so delicious.

The black thing in the middle of this picture is an EGG--a thousand year-old egg to be exact. I tried it. Then I tried to get Miss A to set the rest so I wouldn't have to. She would have none of that.

The train trip was so relaxing and beautiful.

Red bean ice cream treat in hand, we thoroughly enjoyed the mountain town of Ji Ji.

We saw quite a few of these guys in our travels. They work in construction zones as the sign holders.

Beautiful, right? The mountain was ALIVE with sounds.

We love this family!

 We finished the night with a special visit to Ricky's grandmother, delicious Mango and some more visiting. Ricky's mom took care of my bug bites and just plain loved us.

We love the Lees!

 We could barely hold all of the goodness and love coming from these wonderful friends!
