Sweet Saturday

Unplanned, Unexpected Outings are ALWAYS BEST!!  Such was how Saturday was spent....   with such a gloomy day and nothing really much to do, as work was all done, went along with Jewel and family to Yilan for an afternoon/evening outing....

First stop was Mr Brown's Castle....  yes, Mr Brown Coffee - is BIIIIG in Yilan... this is actually the 2nd BIIIIIIG Coffee shop they have in this town....  you already saw the other one which I blogged about previously.....   This one, though not as biiiiig - is actually even cooler as the building facade is that of a castle.....  and the view - oh what a view.....   as it is located way up in the mountains - one gets a great view of the city and ocean.....  almost like being in one of the Castle's in Northern Europe....

In the evening, we went to the actual Tourist town of Yilan....  closed to the Train Station....   always bustling with tourists...  parades of Tour buses are parked, neon signs for various Hot Springs. Spas, Hotels blinds....  and rows and rows of restaurants lines the streets....  Here, we had dinner and took a bit of a Hot Springs dip in one of the public ones....  well, just the feet but still soothingly pleasing....

Someone's had a looooong nite....  hahahahahaha.....
