I'm hoping to start writing more frequently again, it seems like we have a little more time, even thought we are still very busy. Renalda and I started to study Chinese at a local university as self study doesn't work with a busy schedule. We only go once a week for two hours so progress will be slow, but at least we will make progress.
We went scootering up the valley to see what we may see, we hadn't intended to go to Meihua (Plum Blossom) lake, but we had heard of it. It's nice for a quiet afternoon, there are a few snack stores and tons of bicycle rental places where you can rent a single, tandem, side-by-side, or 4 person bike all with or without a battery and motor, there were even Segways! We opted for good old man power with 2 person side-by-side 4 wheel bicycle.
There are a lot of nice paths to walk around and a one way bicycle road...yes it gets that busy. Lucky for us it was rather quiet. When I looked through our photos I noticed we don't have a picture of the whole lake, just of the surrounds.

| Lots of overhanging branches keeps it cool |
 |
| Nice to be away from the hustle |
 |
| They use tons of fireworks at the temples |
 |
| Great place to have a temple |
 |
| We took a boat ride around the lake... at light speed so very few of my photos came out |
 |
| Such a tiring ride that Renalda took a nap with the teddies |
It was nice to get out, and it's only 20 minutes from home.
