Warning view discretion advised! Come along and see where we go and what we do with best friend visitors Lamb and Eddie from Pittsburgh, PA. Watch us ride the seaside path through the sculpture garden all the way to Maidao Island and to the Datum Marine Center where we have wonderful coffee at the Vanilla Cafe.
Next, we travel to Cool Cat and then to Strong Ale Works where we have some of Qingdao's finest craft beer and drinking atmosphere.

NEW TO OUR CHANNEL? We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we had very NO sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia.
So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too!
As a viewer, we consider you to be part of our family and look forward to getting to know you. Don't hesitate to comment on our videos and ask questions. We will do our best to answer every correspondence! All we ask is that you have patience with us as we work really hard to improve our camera/video techniques and ability to tell a story. Hopefully, you will be as BLOWN AWAY from watching, as we are in experiencing and producing our adventures!

We just climbed Mount Fu.
Or Fu Shan.
We started our trip climbing the Great Wall
and we're ending it by climbing Mount Fu Shoppe.
What a week.
It was an awesome week.
Hooray!
Anyone who comes to Qingdao,
you have got to do this climb.
I did this climb.
I'm 68 years old.
400 steps.
I made it.
And I'm in great shape.
We love it here.
This place is magnificent.
By the way, I'm right here.
I'm Ramsey.
The birthday boy has to get in the camera.
We climbed for his birthday.
I'm going to leave links down below
to our two videos
on how to climb Fu Shan.
We've got the path and everything
so you can recreate it.
Over here to the right
down in the corner
we've got the subscribe button.
Please show us some love, subscribe,
give us a thumbs up and share.
We are so glad to have you two here.
This was amazing.
You guys rock Qingdao, by the way.
This was awesome.
Everybody needs to come.
You all have to come here.

Your four-letter words.
Whoa! Plenty of four-letter words.
Down.
If you like
an experience, a dining experience,
you must go
to Heidi Lau.
The most awesome thing was
Eddie and Lam picked up the tap.
Yeah!
I'm going to have to spend the whole dinner
with these people. They have no idea what they're doing.
That's so cool.
That's amazing.
There are a couple words
that we want to finish with
given that this is the
four-letter words of Qingdao.
One of the last words
that I would like to leave you with
why don't you leave with your word
and I'll finish.
Why?
And what I would like to leave you with
is the last four-letter word
which is come.
Come to Qingdao.
You will never forget it.
The people here are so
beautiful, friendly, and welcoming.
You will love it.
And that's another four-letter word.
Love.
Love, love.
Eileen and Brown,
thank you so much for one of the best
vacations ever.
Oh, y'all are so sweet!
Thanks for coming
all the way across the world to see us.
Wo ai ni.
Wo ai ni!
