On the way back from Bulil waterfall, which was forty-five minutes or so from Sangge Temple, we stopped for a rest at this small mountaintop temple. The monk invited us in for tea and a chat. This is a great way to spend an afternoon; I highly recommend it!
Cauvery's basketball team had a tournament today and the families went out together for lunch to a local octopus restaurant. In true Korean fashion, it was men at one table, women at another and kids in the room next door. Because we brought so much business to the restaurant, the...

This is right on the border with North Korea. (Click here to visit in Google Maps.) I wasn't actually supposed to take the top photo but didn't notice the sign prohibiting photos in the direction of North Korea until after I'd take it. It's a marker that commemorates a battle...
One of the nice things about driving around the Korean countryside at random without a fixed itinerary is unexpectedly coming across gems along the way.
