Today we were treated to a trip to the mountains by our School Superintendent, Tim McGill, and his wife Bonnie. The took us and the other new staff, the Aldag family, to a mountain stream about an hour away. This kind of outdoor activity is a family favorite, but what an adventure in a new country! The mountain area we drove to is home to the aboriginal people of Taiwan. This group is related more to Polynesian ancestors rather than Chinese. Thier appearance and art reflects this difference.
After a few washed out roads, we found a good place to picnic and play.
The kids enjoyed jumping off rocks into the cool water and building a dam. Unfortunately Charlie Aldag fell and hurt his knee pretty bad so the day was cut a bit short. Still, a good time was had by all and we hope we can find the way back by ourselves for another family outting.
Prayer Concerns:
Please pray that the afterschool activities Matt is coordinating go smoothly. They start up on Tuesday.
Our house is still not sold. We heard this week that the Indianapolis real estate market is the second worse in the United States, not very encouraging.
