Treats, Typhoon Evasion and...trouble spelling "mileage". ("Milage"?)

I'd just like to start by saying that getting a package with Halloween treats in it makes a bad day about 90% better. Thanks Xiao Gu Gu. :)

Well, we avoided another typhoon this weekend. We seem to be really good at that- since we've been here, we haven't been in the actual path of a typhoon. The last one went south to the Philippines, and this one turned north toward Japan.
So, instead of rain and wind today, we had some really nice weather. There was sun and even (whoa!) blue sky. It felt exactly like Michigan in June. In October. This is when Taiwan weather starts to get nice, apparently.
With the weather this nice, we needed to get outside, so we went to this park in Luodong (the next city over from Yilan) to climb a mountain. It took about an hour and a half, but the view from the top was great. You could see almost the whole county all the way to the ocean.

But honestly, that's all I have. No particularly interesting stories. I had a...philosophical discussion with the Dean of Students on Thursday, Evan's a little sick, and I started larnin' to play the gitfiddle. I'll try to have a more interesting day tomorrow. :)

[Milage: 35 miles this week. Let's not tell Murray about this week, huh?]
