firefly hunt at 阿玉土雞園, 烏來

My junior high classmate invited us to join. My dad's stayed with us since this Thursday night and will go back tomorrow evening. He went dinner at 阿玉土雞園 with us. The dishes were delicious.
The clear mountain sky filled with twinkling stars was peaceful and beautiful. It wasn't warm enough, so we only found a few fireflies. The kids were excited, though.

family trip to 南投

We spent this 4 day Tomb Sweeping Day weekend with our families in middle Taiwan. We left for my in laws last rainy Friday evening. The next day we stayed at my parents', so did my brother.
My sister's family met us at Sun Moon Lake on Sunday and stayed at Apollo Hotel ($3780 for a standard quadruple room, breakfast) with us. The weather was mild and pleasant. I enjoyed walking along the lake in the breeze, watching the golden sunset and a few birds on boats. After lunch at Paper Dome, they went back to Kaohsiung yesterday. We went back to my parents' after dinner at Sun Moon Lake again. We came back home today.
