A Poem from my Grandma

My Grandma Joan always writes me awesome poems when I travel. Just last night I was reading two old ones she sent me, one from when I was in South Africa and one from when I first arrived here in Taiwan. Then today I got a new one!

Here is the poem my Grandma just wrote for me about this blog and my travels here in Taiwan:

What's It Like to Take a Hike in Taiwan

Once upon a time

said Rachel from the Burgh

I could turn my word

into a BLOG!

Now that I'm traveling in China

Nothing really could be finer

than to show the world

and the folks back home

what fun it is

to take a foreign roam.

What a hooter

I've got a scooter

Traveling over hill and dale

How much thinner is the trail!

The little tiny homes

On a tiny, tiny street

Where else could it be

this unique?

Sharing pastimes and pleasures

more night than day

And "so convenient"

always being their say.

And islands just

6 miles or so

What a lovely spot

where we can go

and a ride in

a snug and comfy cab

what fun to be able

to sing or gab!

And at other spots

we dance a lot

always with

a smile we've got.

And all the things we

see or do

is so much fun

because it's new.

A happy people

that's for sure

by living on their

Taiwan shore.

Our blog can help us

where e're we go

to help others enjoy

the Taiwan show!

She's pretty awesome, huh?

Thanks Grandma!
