Have You Ever Seen the Rain?

Today I woke up in my warm bed in Penghu to the pitter patter of Taiwan’s infamous drenching rains. I should have known right then that the day would be off to a shaky start. The rain forced us to abandon our original plans as we made our way to the main island of MaGu from JiBei, the island where we were staying. On the larger island, we visited the PengHu Living Museum where we learned more about the people and past of PengHu. Incredibly modern, the Museum greeted visitors with pictures of the various faces of PengHu both young and old. Also included in the Museum was a small replica of an older PengHu village where it was great to see the older architecture of the time as well as its layout. It was also great to see a model replica of PengHu’s famous rock/coral fishing traps where fish are herded into enclosed areas near the shore where they can’t escape and fisherman can catch them with nets. Soon after, we boarded a plane for Taipei City where we saw some spectacular views of Taiwan at night from the sky in the company of some amazing people.
