Make A Wish!

 

Yesterday we spent the day in Danshuei with a friend.  It's a city near the northern tip of Taiwan, right on the Danshuei River and the ocean.  It was a beautiful place and a beautiful day (except for the heat!)  There's a fort there - Fort San Domingo, built by Spanish colonizers (and later occupied by Dutch colonizers), which we visited.  

At the entrance we got little plastic cards that we could write wishes on and put them up near the fort.

A wall of wishes


A special wish for our dog Ripley - we hope she has a good time with her cousin Stella :)

    I agree that Dan looks a bit skeptical but will go with the flow. Mom Walsh

A Day in the Life

Quote of the Week

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.
