Our adventure began at 3:30 PM Friday April 17 in Seattle.The 10 teams of 2 plus the organizers, Bill and Pamela Chalmers, gathered at the Westin. There are over 600 scavenges-which are choices of things to do...like involving nature, cooking, architecture, etc. We must do the scavenges as a team of 2 and we must take a photo of both of us doing it. All scavenges have points assigned to them and the team with the most points wins There are some mandatory scavenges like eating stuff. To get to the places to do the scavenges and to get around, we have to take public transportation which can include taxis as well as anything else like camels, donkeys, rickshaws,etc.
We had a delicious dinner at Wild Ginger (with a bithday candle for me on my dessert). As we finished, we learned that we are flying on EVA Air at 1:50 AM to Taipei. We packed our bags and are about to head out to the airport.
A word on our fellow travellers; just getting to know them. Five went last time and are back for more. There are people from Miami, Arizona, Texas, California, Barbados. We are the only east coasters.
