Road Trip to Suncheon...#2

I'm not a big fan of visiting Temples, Churches, Synagogues, Mosques, Yoga parlours (whatever your crutch may be) because once you've been to one of them you quickly see a pattern and the next one really isn't that different. But since I arrived in Korea I have heard about Hyangillam Temple in Yeosu. This temple is found high up on the mountain right on the edge of the sea and offers a great view of boats, fishermen and tiny islands jutting up out of the water. The temple itself is one of the smaller ones I have been to but the hardest to reach. The first picture is of Rachel Lynn as we started our twenty minute climb up the hill. Along the side of the stairs were many statues and gates to go through.



Right near the top of the stairs there is a section where you have to lube up and squeeze through some rocks. Dong Soo kept bugging Heidi saying she was lucky to of lost some weight recently because he doubted if she would make it. Luckily we all made it through and got to the top for some great views. The leaves were just starting to lose their greenness and being on top of the mountain instead of in polluted Seoul you could actually smell the new season.
