4 hours later, and about 10 pounds lighter!

Yeah! We climbed our mountain!

And now we relax with some very delicious Galbi! (Korean BBQ)
Looks like milk...but it isn't.
Makali (Rice Wine)

Down....down............down!

So, this is actually going down....funny how our eyes can play tricks on us....it almost looks like we are going up
Going down was a totally different adventure that involved very steep rocks and guard rail wires. Fun, beautiful, but tiring!


Almost there, we can do it!

Trail Mix...Korean style

Roast egg, yeah.... umm, not so bad with the salt and pepper, but...its brown!

Ad now, the journey down!

Seoul from the almost top of the mountain

Still hiking our mountian!

When it comes to hiking, Koerans are like Mountain Goats. They literally jump up and down the rocks like there is zero danger!

Beautiful scenery on the way up!
The top!!!
We stop and rest at the top and have a little bit to eat.

We're going hiking now, we're on our way. Going to climb up a mountain and run and jump and play!

Martin and Jeff, already sweating and we just got off the bus!
BIG mountain, we took the rocky way....not to be done again.
Weird stone pillar things! yeah!
LOTS of rocks!
Stephanie and Martin smiling and pretending that they are actually not melting!
30 degrees C, with 100 % humidity!

Canda Day / July 4th Celebration on July 5th in South Korea!

Stephanie, Jeffrey and I celebrate in the nearby amplitheater with Potato salad, Baked beans, and Homemade BBQ hambugers!


Of course we couldn't have a proper celebration without fireworks and sparklers!

New Hair Cut

It was supposed to be about an inch longer, but due to the fact that Korean hairstylists do not have much, if any, experience cutting westerns hair, this is how is turned out.

These are REAL LOTUSES!

So apparently the difference between the Water Lilly and the Lotus, is with the leaves.
The water lily leaves lay flat on the water, while the Lotus leaves stand up in the air. Both are in the picture above, and just Lotus in the picture below.
