As long as I’m writing more frequently, why not do it again after only two days? So, I’m baaaaack.
-Sa at the end of a place noun means temple. -Pokpo means waterfall. A few km from us is Hongyongsa and Hongyongpokpo. It’s either a bus ride and a 3 km walk, which we did today, or about an 8 km walk through the woods behind our place, which we’ll no doubt do soon. Yesterday was not picturesque, as we went to Busan and extended my visa again, went to a pretty routine city park, and went to the international market for Quaker Oats. Oh, we got cheap California raisins for about 20% of the cost of Korean raisins. Today was yet another nice walk. Here are some pics. This first place is near where the bus dropped us. It’s typical agricultural scenery.
You walk along this, unless you have a car which we don’t.
But like many areas, the views off the road are nice. Even if you were driving, you’d be looking at this.
After about two km you get to a bridge and can look down at the creek and picnickers. Then after a bit you can look up the creek at more picnickers.
Now, Koreans like to have style, no matter how wierd. Up pretty much near the beginning to nowhere are these public toilets.
Finally up a narrow road you get to the temple and the falls. It was a little hot today, so I was kind of draggin’ in one of these pics which Myung took.
So much for another day at the ranch. Tomorrow we’re going to Busan again. There’s some walk Myung wants to do. What else? We might go to the Busan Giants baseball game. They are in a heated pennant race.
Be well, all of you.
