Road Trip to Suncheon

This weekend was a long weekend. (Not in a traditional Monday off work sort of way, it was just LONG). Early Saturday morning I went down to the Southern coast of Korea to visit old friends in Suncheon with Heidi and Rachel Lynn and had a great time. Getting there took us only four hours as we took the KTX (high speed bullet train) but getting home was a LONG, hot, LONG, boring, LONG uncomfortable seven hour bus ride.

I love Seoul because it's always busy and people are constantly doing something no matter the time of day but I also enjoy getting away to quieter settings. Suncheon is one of these places. The pace of life is noticeably slower and it's just so relaxing. This is a picture of farmers loading up a truck with ?????? (I'm no farmer so let's just say food).



Heidi, RL and I decided to head down there because it had been over a year since we last visited and in that time my good friend Dong Soo has moved into a huge apartment and had his second child. His daughter has grown so much in that time and his wife was as kind as always.





We didn't stay long in his apartment. We needed to do some sort of sight seeing so that we could enjoy our night of binge drinking without the guilty conscience of this being just another roadtrip of a night of binge drinking. We headed off to Yoesu and went to Hyangillam Temple (a National Park where the temple clings to the side of mountain looking out over the Sea.
