As I mentioned in my previous post, Saturday saw me and some friends driving through the countryside. Our destination was an island, but the journey there was really the destination, and well worth it. I got to see a Korea I haven't seen before...lots of fields, mountains, and....houses! Yes, houses, and not too far from my city. The road was 2-lane, windy, and felt very New Brunswick-y. :) All told, we probably drove for 2 hours there and 2 hours back. After poking around the higgelty piggeltys, we stopped to see these Buddhist temples. They were stunningly beautiful...below is the one at the entrance:
And here is the tunnel through the wall that you can see in the above picture:
The wall:
The NBers on the wall:
The decor:
Once past the first temple and wall, there were several other temples around a courtyard:
A young dad and his young son:
The old and the new:
As the sun set, we drove to the beach. Here are a couple of views of the country along the way:
The sun set just as we arrived on the beach:
A lovely, refreshing way to spend St. Patrick's Day! I feel so privileged sometimes. :)
