'Round the Island trip

On April 4 I was in Taitung, Taiwan. I went with another Ohio teacher, Amy. We visited an active archaeological dig, something I have always wanted to do. It was in Peinan Cultural Park. The excavation there is ongoing and the ruins are said to date back about 5000 years. The Puyuma tribe lived there and a huge grave yard was discovered in 1980. After that time, archaeologists uncovered building and homes as well as household items. Unfortunately, my camera was beginning to fail and so many of the photos have lines through them. We also visited a temple and began a trip out to the Three Immortals bridge, but changed plans as we realized it was much, much farther away than we thought.
