So, what Have I been doing for the last year? I've been around. Around and about. I just took my mind off the hook for a bit. I reckoned that if the world wanted me badly enough it would call back. It did. I decided I was a lemon for a couple of weeks. I kept myself amused all that time jumping in and out of a gin and tonic. Well, I found a small lake that thought it was a gin and tonic, and jumped in and out of that. At least, I think it thought it was a gin and tonic. I may have been imagining it."

The above nonsense was taken directly from that wonderful trilogy (of five) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. So I thought I'd give credit where credit was due and all that, but the point is that I have been doing something similar.

So what have I really been up to? I'm not telling. But since a picture is worth a thousand words and all that, I'll let them tell the story instead. That would save me a LOT of words as you are about to see. Posted by Picasa

The archway that marks the start of Taroko Gorge. It's amazing and if you are ever in Taiwan it is one of the places that I would recommend getting to. Seriously, its worth the schlep. The other place is Sun Moon Lake in Nantou County...

This was taken looking out the bus window. I like how the trees bend in towards the valley.














It really is freaky how narrow the road actually is!
