Our second day of vacation came up the first Monday in April. To take advantage of the three day weekend we decided to do some Taiwanese camping!! About an hour away from Fenyuan is a place called Dongshih- it was quite an adventure:)
It was kind of a windy road to get there, but very easy to set up. Most of the tent spots are even covered! There were endless trails to explore, but our first mission was dinner. All the supplies for our bbq came in a box, including the food! We had pork, chicken, corn, tofu, and rice sausages!
After we had cooked all our food we headed out to see the fireflies!! It was an incredible experience, like seeing stars right in front of you. When all our lights were off we might have been standing in the clouds!
Eventually we made it back to camp, and after a few hours of sleep headed over to a restaurant for some breakfast. We had more tofu of course, rice porridge, and eggs.
Exploring in the daytime we found many things we had missed in the dark the night before. We realized we had stumbled upon a huge playground! Not only was there a huge swinging area, but a rope climbing station, ziplining, sledding(on astroturf no less), a tight rope, and a huge trampoline!
I was with a few of the teachers, and some of our awesome secretaries and their friends. I still can't believe how lucky I am to be surrounded by these people. They made the weekend perfect!!
We stopped by another famous dumpling restaurant on the way home, and then rested up for our day trip to Lukang in the morning!!
