Seorak Mountain, Day Two

On Day Two, we woke to yet another glorious morning. Warm and breezy, sunny and clear. How refreshing! Not to mention the fact that the air was clean and there was no noise pollution. Ahhhh.

After breakfast, we went on a walk. No hiking today, just walking along a riverbed trail. Along the way, we passed this temple. The lanterns are for, incidentally, the Festival of Lanterns, held on May 24, Buddha's Birthday. So pretty!

A wonderful weekend. If only I could live there! Well, if I was a monk, I guess I could...
