More Korean Travel

Well you only got part A of our trip into the East Coast of Korea. We took some time at Sokcho and explored all around the Sorak National Park - amazingly beautiful is the only way we can describe it. WARNING - a few mountain shots coming up - I have not editied these yet, so colour may be off a little.

Before you ask - yes it was cold, and yes that is snow on the hills.

It is supposed to be spring too!

As usual another very serious family portrait.

If you squint, you can see all the way to the ocean - well if the smog wasn't there!

We rode the cable cars to the top of the mountain - at $15 each person it was not a cheap trip but amazing. The view was spectacular. Let me just point out again - it was really, really cold and so windy. I kept worrying that the kids would get blown off the mountain.

Claudia thought it would be fun to dress up Grandpa in a few hats.

There was this little temple at the foot of the mountains that we wandered through. Dad the ever so respectful observer of other religions opened the door to the temple and ust walked in shoes and all - he couldn't understand why the ladies got upset!

No temple visit is complete without a budha photo.

All around the temple were these piles of rocks - apparently they are prayer mounds.

The first sign of spring.

See they do love each other.

No day is complete without a tasty Korean snack of chocolate hotdogs - yes that is right. It is a dagwood dog or a corn dog dipped in chocolate sauce and sprinkles - mmmmmmm - I can just taste it now.
