spontaneous miaoli

last sunday's forecast had called for rain so we didn't plan on doing anything since we still had monday and tuesday off due to the mid-autumn festival

woke up sunday morning and looked out the window...

sunny with barely a cloud in the sky

just great and amazing weather

i should have known better than believe the forecast, after all this is taiwan!

we didn't want the day to go to waste so started to think what where we could go, what we could do

suddenly we remembered that my cousin becky and her family were going to their cabin in miaoli

sounds like a plan

called the cousin, made the arrangements, prepared some food and off we went just like that

what's really cool is that my mom and grandma came along with us

it was great to spend a nice relaxing day with family




took these shots while driving on the highway on the way to miaoli. what'd i tell ya? check out the beautiful sky and weather!




the cabin in miaoli




some of the neighbours


it had been raining for a few days earlier so the stream water was really muddy. it's usually pretty clear as you can see from the next picture of the same stream which i took a few months ago



i got caught up enjoying the bbq, a couple beers and a nice relaxing time so didn't take more pictures

planning to go back in a couple weeks

who wants in?
