With an invitation to join in horseback riding in Hsichi's riding track, Daniel got to sit on a horse for the first time, Jackie got to continue to practice riding as she likes to do, and the horse learned his lesson of what happens when you don't run the other direction when an 84-kg foreigner named "Chris" decides he wants to ride you.

Stopped for a coffee on the way to Yehliu, at our favorite overlook onto the Pacific Ocean. Jackie had just gotten back from China for business, so it was a great day to get out for a drive. Then, onto Yehliu where there were hundreds of tourists, mostly from China and Korea.
