Tainan

Continuing on our journey south we choose to visit the 4th largest city and former capital or Taiwan Tainan. Because the moon festival was going on there were fireworks and parades everywhere. We stop to wait at a red light and suddenly a parade went by. We also decided to stop at a side street to take a rest from our walking and enjoy a drnk. As we were enjoying our drinks another parade went by. Then suddenly 20 boxes of fireworks were also dumped into the street and lighted. We enjoyed the show. This picture if of me infront of oldest Confucius Temple in Taiwan. Becuase Confucius was huge on education this is also the oldest school in Taiwan. The yellow piece of paper is a wish that I am making and then you post it on a board. Students come make wishes before test. These next two pictures are of us at the Chickan Towers. This was a grave for one of the heros of Taiwan. It was also a dutch fort during the time they occupied Taiwan. The turles have tribute engraved on them for heros of Taiwan. They date back to the 1600 and 1700's.
