Green Island!

Green Island = paradise. This place was BEAUTIFUL! I loved everything about our mini vacation, which we could enjoy 100% at this point because we were finished teaching and didn't have anything to worry about but completely relaxing and soaking up Taiwan.  Our trip consisted of a ferry ride to the island, scooters to ride around the island, a fantastic hostel, snorkeling (my first time...loved it!), yummy restaurants, hot springs at night, stargazing on the beach, a gorgeous sunrise, visits to an old prison and lighthouse, and the most beautiful scenery imaginable!  Definitely a new favorite place, and the perfect way to spend our last weekend together. 
I love Taiwan!

Ferry ride...very, very windy!

And I got wet...

My hair did not survive the ride to the island...focus on the greenness behind me.

This is the kind of view we enjoyed scootering around the island!

Me and Meg, scooter buddies!

One of our scooters broke down...which meant we got to do as the Taiwanese do...3 to a seat, yeah!
We arrived at our lookout point an hour early...but it was amazing to see the sky completely change from night to day!

We watched the sunrise from the top!









We always have to at least attempt a jumping shot.

Back in the driver's seat...woot!

Check out how clear that water is!




I love Green Island!


A lookout at the old prison...
