Well to start this week off, it started as you might expect in a small taiwanese apartment, we arose about 6:00 in the morning and prepared to exercise that we could remain healthy, a light jog later brought us to a bit older run down middleschool exercise area, as the Amas(grandmas yes they do like being called ama) strolled about and were doing their taiqi we began our time there, the next thrity minutes were simple enough, go ham all day er'y day. and then it was a simple walk down a large staircase to the welcome mart(ding hao) bought a light breakfast of 2 packs of juabings for the week (chinese pancake) and some mango icecream(i learned mondays is icecream sale day) then we returned and prepared for the day, studied, then readied ourselves to join wu di xiong (dx) for a momentous trip to danshui. the zoneleaders had planned to meet us in thirty minutes we ate together for lunch. then recieved a call that the zoneleaders were quite late. just as many 19-20 year old boys are. we began our journey a brisk pace along the river up to danshui, with many twists and turns in which all manner of large bugs and small critters must've creeped but we simply peddled along. we arrived at the boardwalk area, many tourists were about none looked unexcited, we got some snacks looked about for the ZL to arrive but recieved a call that they had gone to the beach on the northern tip. we mounted back up and set off at a brisk pace, for we are missionaries, and an RC and its not very polite to be late. 20 minutes (pretend days) later arrived at the beach. we journeyed across a large desoltaion of sand and rock, for we desired the very tip not the gentle inlet of delicious sand. we soon came to the tip that had many tide pools, with no clear path to follow there were many LOTR references to golem as he lead the hobbits through the large bog. mostly me of course but everyone laughed. after we arrived at the edge we stood about as conquerers of the journey but had not yet accomplished our design as to achieve the accompaniment of the ZL for they had gone ahead. and simply up to the inlet to the beach. as we were about to head back to find the object of our design our poor RC took a small tumple backards onto a bit rocky shallow part into the ocean. we quickly pulled him up and began to return to the safety of the sandy expanse, (i enjoyed this rocky part for they were no small rocks and it was like an obstacle course) we finally returned and cleaned up wu dx and then met the ZL who quickly had to run for they had angered a deep beast of the dark. possibilty of being LATE (damsel in distress scream) we had a nice gentle ride home with but a few souveniers of our journey, after all we were just missionaries no one could ever need as much as was hoarded in that beach. (end seen i aint no JR Tolkien but that is my tale of P day bike ride) it was pretty bomb.
