This past Sunday was another beautiful Taiwan day. Orion called me at about 11:00AM, saying he wanted to go to the beach. I got my things ready and headed to his apartment. I rode on his old motorcycle and at 1:00PM, we headed up to QianShaWan (淺水灣) and Baishawan (白沙灣), on the northern part of Taiwan. The ride was nice and smooth until we got to Danshui. Then we got stuck in traffic. Luckily, we weren't driving a car. We arrived at the beach and had lunch. After lunch, we decided that Qianshawan wasn't a very nice beach to relax at so we went further up the road to Baishawan.
There were many people at the beach, but it was still very nice. People were playing soccer, swimming, laying in the sun, and playing in the sand. We played with a Frisbee for a while, then laid around in the cooling sun. I began making a sea turtle. You can see the finished product. We stayed there for several hours and headed back at about 5:30PM. The ride back was long due to the heavy traffic. It was a nice day for the beach. Long and tiring, but very fulfilling.
