While visiting Hualien, on the East Coast of Taiwan, David and Sue took a trip down the coast to the Tropic of Cancer, meeting up with the parents and family of Grace: her parents, Peter Hsu and Mei-Hsung Wu, who live with their son Bing-Wen Hsu, his wife Su-Hung Lin, their two year old son Chen-En Hsu and Grace’s 12-year old niece Cha-Shan Lee (known in English as Amy). (Amy is the daughter of Grace’s sister and lives with Grace’s parents.) On the trip to the Tropic we were accompanied by Peter, Su-Hung, Chen-En and Amy.


View from the hotel window in the morning. It is raining, but with a temperature of 28 °C, it is warm soothing rain.
