Lynn & Pete in Taiwan: Part 2

We took the MRT out to the coast on Sunday to visit the town of Danshui. When we arrived we just happened to hear a parade going on so we went to investigate. There were tons of dancers, musicians, and floats moving down the street. What a fun adventure!

I just loved seeing this little dragon on the street.  The little boy inside was thrilled that I wanted to take his picture and he gave me the traditional peace sign!

Although Teddy is quite nervous around parades in Taiwan which often consist of firecrakers and scary dragons, the boys did quite well together and really enjoyed the parade!

We then climbed to the top of Fort San Domingo, originally a Spanish and then Dutch fort.  The fort occupies the top of the hill next to the old British Consulate.  It had a beautiful view of the river and the ocean, and was a suprisingly grassy place in the city to spend an afternoon.
