Our first day on Green Island, Taiwan

Green Island is just off the southeastern coast of Taiwan and takes 45 minutes by ferry to get there. You will be proud of me. I ate ginger candy prior to boarding and did not get seasick.

It was a dreary, rainy weekend but we still had a fun time exploring and enjoying the beauty of the island. The island is volcanic and there are all types of lava flow areas to see. Mei Lian is another English teacher from Toronto, Canada, and was part of our touring group for the weekend. In the 10th picture you can see a large gastropod shell inbedded in the lava, a flow that occurred 50 years ago and turned a beautiful sandy beach into a barren area with numerous tidal pools to observe.
