More photos from last week's field day at Seongpo Elementary School. In the photo below, that's Cauvery in the yellow jersey coming around the turn in the relay race. He made up some ground that previous runners on his team had lost and in the end, the yellow jersey team...
I moaned and groaned about the Cherry Blossom Festival a couple weeks ago where the blossoms hadn't bloomed yet. Fortunately, they had bloomed in our neighborhood though.
The previous header photo on this photoblog of Myunghee, Treasure and Cauvery taken at the 2009 Tulip Festival in Seongpo-Dong was over two years old. We've taken lots of photos since then and I'd been wanting to update the header photo, but I hadn't been able to find a recent...
Following up on my previous post about the Cheil Country Club Cherry Blossom Festival not having cherry blossoms, here are some more photos with people in them. Nojeok Hill can be seen pointing up in the second photo below.
After our disappointing chicken ribs lunch (see yesterday's post here), we got dessert from this lady in Chooncheon. She mixes sugar and baking soda, melts it over a fire and forms it into a hardened candy after indenting it with various shapes of things like stars, moons and other things....
The city of Chooncheon is famous for "chicken ribs", a tasty dish enjoyed now throughout Korea. But passing through Chooncheon on the way back from Cheorweon, we wanted to visit one of the original restaurants that made the food famous. Unfortunately, we were a little too hungry by the time...
I'm sure the area looked a lot more beautiful before the ugly concrete bridge got built, but then how would we have gotten across to take photos from both sides of the river?! (Click here to visit in Google Maps.) During the summer, there's bungee jumping from the bridge in...
Visiting the temple was interesting; but nothing unexpected there. What was really fascinating for us was to walk up the hill behind and find it covered in foxholes, a network of semi-submerged walkways and even a concrete bunker. The Korean War didn't seem to have been from such a distant...
You really can't pick a much prettier place to stay for a night… (Click here to visit in Google Maps.)
Rather than make our reservation in advance, we decided to just see what was available when we got out to Cheorwon. There were a bunch of "pensions" (what Koreans call privately owned motel-ish places fixed up for vacationers) out near a gorge used in the summer for white-water rafting, but...
