May 27, 2018 Day 6 Taiwan

This is where my dad's parents are located.  Along with his mom's mom.
My parents in the lobby.
This was very special to me to be able to be here with my family.
Not exactly sure these numbers go with the correct person but these are the 3 locations.
Lunch always had a questionable food item - and most of the time with its head still attached.
Sun Moon Lake in Yuchi Township, Nantou County.  It's the largest body of water in Taiwan.  The east side of the lake resembles a sun while the west side resembles a moon.  Swimming is not usually allowed but there is an annual 3 km race called Swimming Carnival of Sun Moon Lake.  It has been designated as 1 of 13 national scenic areas in Taiwan.
Wen Wu Temple celebrates both the patron gods of civil and marital affairs in the same complex.  In southern China, the civil God is Wenchang and in the north it is Confucius.  In both the north and south, the marital God is Guan Yu.  It is uncommon to have a temple worshiping both.  
Our guide said that if you want to marry or stay together forever, you worship the marital God.  So here's Courtney and Larry and our little family who shall now stay together forever.

Dylan meeting Meishu Chiang - my dad's youngest sister.  
This is my parents with my dad's oldest brother's youngest daughter and her daughter.
This is Meishu's son's (Gio's) 2 girls.
Dylan took quite a liking to Dora.  She wants to be a fashion designer.
The whole family gathering for dinner.
And it's a wrap for Day 6!  Who sleeps this way?!  Good night from the Norway Forest Leisure Hotel.
