More sightseeing. We visited the historic site Fort Sant Domingo. The fort itself is but a shell; however the site has seen many transformations.
The Spanish, the Dutch, the Chinese, the Brits and others, and finally the Taiwanese have occupied the grounds. Here is the lineage:
The British consul house is preserved as a museum.
Next door is the University where Nisa studied. This church, buildings and grounds are the best part of the school, the more modern part "sucks" so we went no further.
We were in Tamsui, a small city along the wide river where it flows into the China Sea. We spent some time on the boardwalk and peeking up side streets. Vendors were out in force since it was a Saturday.
The Turkish ice cream vendor was a real treat. A magician serving the cones. Enjoy the video.
