Springtime Activities

On a particularly warm spring day, we enjoyed a great time in the park. We took the time to be one with the locals and strip off the shoes and socks and run around in the fountains. Go Michael!


Another shot of us actually together with one of our arms NOT extended taking the "self-portrait."
Me in front of public art.

This was a temple entrance that we saw when on a hike on Cheongye Mountain (chon-gay). We had to get up at 5:30 to get started at 7:00 a.m. All this to avoid the literal herds of people coming at 9:00.
"I woke up at 5:30 and hiked to the top of a mountain."


Three mountain men.

In the afternoon, we went into Seoul to get first glimpses of the cherry blossoms. It's definitely helping the look of things here! Welcome, spring!

Gorgeous pics! I've had an itch to go on a good hike lately. Yesterday I walked around the neighborhood and was EXHAUSTED by the end of it. I think I will wait a few months to squelch my hiking itch:)

Are those actual functioning clocks?
