Lisa, the woman who owned the room and restaurant in Bow Ang, actually lived in Taichung and just came back to this village on the weekends. She has been to the US five times on business trips.

She sells clothes in this village as well as her own soap and a bunch of other stuff. She was very friendly.
I was eager to hit the road this morning, and after a quick shave and a brushing of the teeth, I was on my way. The morning was beautiful and cool and in no time at all, I was surrounded by gorgeous mountains. The problem is that I take so many pictures, it takes me a long time to cover any distance. I stopped again and again to take pictures. From this point, the scenery is going to get better and better, so I’ll probably end up going slower and slower.

The town itself is nothing that special, but a beautiful river runs through it, and they built trails all along the river and then up into the mountains.
