The trip was a whirlwind, I’m glad I have pictures to remind me of the fun times and amazing sites.

I travelled to Taiwan and spent a week visiting Taroko National Park and exploring the city of Taipei. After seven days I hopped on a plane and headed to Beijing. There I also spent a week brushing up on all of the history and running around the city.

In just two short weeks I have done things that I never thought I could do such as hiking to the top of a mountain that was over 10000 feet above sea level. Several of my favorite moments from the trip included going to a butterfly farm, visiting some of the local elementary schools and meeting the kids, hiking the Great Wall, and eating Peking duck at one of the nicest restaurants in Beijing.

This trip was so much fun.  I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything but I was ready to eat with a fork again!
