Driving down to Southern California - random stop

-

I've driven down to LA many times, but I never really pay attention to the route I take... I just go wherever my Maps app tells me to go. One time I driving and I just had to suddenly pull over on the highway because the scenery was so lovely! Actually, I often want to do that when I'm driving but this is the one and possibly only time I actually did it. I remember there was another time I passed an absolutely gorgeous field of wildflowers (coincidentally, on another drive down to SoCal), but I was too slow to turn off... I think about that missed chance a lot. But anyway...

There's no real point to this post, just wanted to share a couple pictures! Though if you're road tripping around California, you could choose to take Highway 152 and see this reservoir (and stop at the rest stop). I guess it's the San Luis Reservoir? I would never have known the location but it was stored in my picture details... technology's kind of scary sometimes πŸ˜….

December 2018.

I was dog-sitting, so I made her pose for me. If you were there, you would have heard "sit! okay, stay... no, don't turn, don't look at me!"


Location: San Luis Reservoir, California, USA

"Christmas dinner or [other normal dish]?" "What's Christmas dinner?"  "Turkey"  "British breakfast or frittata?"  ...not going to bother to ask... (nor do I remember what the breakfast had! But it was fine) (Not going to mention the airline because I don't like them! Even though the food was okay. I only used them because I had some points but in the end I didn't save any money. Also, if you try searching for Taiwan it populates "Taiwan, China" 😠) Random picture from inside LHR

Sun Moon Lake and Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village

Even though one of the most well-known tourist spots in Nantou County (and possibly Taiwan in general) is Sun Moon Lake (ζ—₯月潭), I only went for the first time during my last trip to Taiwan. The lake itself is quite nice. There should be places where you can rent bikes or scooters to go around, though I didn't see any where I was. There's also a ropeway that connects the lake to the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village (δΉζ—ζ–‡εŒ–ζ‘), which is an amusement park with museums, roller coasters, shows, games, and lovely trails. It's a great place to learn about Taiwanese aborigines. I hadn't heard of the amusement park before, so I only planned a one-day visit of the lake and we spent half the day in each place. I think that the amount of time to see both places was about right since our itinerary was already pretty full, but it wouldn't have been boring to stay longer either. One reason I finally decided to go this time is because my dad was also back in Taiwan and he drove us. ...
