Another Saturday Drive

Actually, this drive happened quite a while ago, on Saturday July 20. We drove out to the port of Taichung where people had told us there was a very interesting fish market (with restaurants) and a boat ride. Teresa was interested in taking the ride, so off we went.

The drive was unusual in that many roads pointed in the direction we wanted to go, we had a map with directions, and we had our GPS on, but we drove for two hours and still could not find the port and market. We were close several times and then headed parallel to the coast (in the wrong direction). Finally, after circling twice, we did find the port. If had a wonderful fish market with everything coming directly from the boats which were docked immediately outside. Here are some pictures from the market.

And here are some pictures from the boat ride. I should say the ride was pretty uninteresting - for anyone thinking to do this, it is short and not very scenic. You see the Taichung harbor which is some commercial fishing and then the port which is very industrial. And you have a good view of the wind power farm slightly south of the port.
