Jenn and Stew find the pu bu / 瀑布 / waterfall

 After yet another typhoon, the sun returns to Yilan County!  I took a Sunday bike ride with Jenny (one of the 2 other ETA's/English Teaching Assistants living in Nan Ao).  We rode to Jin Yue, one of the 7 other villages in Nan Ao Township.
Nan Ao's fresh air, beautiful scenery and minimal traffic really compliment the road bike.  I've been going on rides 6 days a week.  Although rainy days require a bit more motivation...  
We found the Jin Yue waterfall!  Lots of people were jumping off the waterfall around the back to the right and swimming.  
I'm totally afraid of heights so I just played in the water and climbed on the rocks.    

Shout out to my Nan Ao sister, Jenny.  Her awesome blog definitely motivated me to start doing this.  We worked on our storybooks together.  Check out this traditional story from the Ao Hua village of Nan Ao.

Awesome, awesome JStew !

Your use of pictures and multimedia has definitely improved your blog postings.

Of course, it is always about the story, and how it is presented. You are deepening your toolkit. : )

That last pic with you in the water looks great. It appears you sprouted water wings. A twist on the phoenix rising out of the fire...Jess rising out of the water.

Thanks, guys! Photo credit to Jenny on that last picture. Water has certainly been a major motif of my Taiwanese experience.
