Today really proved the power of God! I walked around with my mouth wide open and honestly speechless. The weather was perfect, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom and the scenery was breathtaking! My friend TK, whom is a Korean woman but speaks fluent English, took a small group of us to Songgwangsa area of Korea. It's about a 40 minute bus ride from Jeonju and worth every second of the wait. The cherry blossoms only come into bloom for about 3 weeks until they fall off and the greenery starts to grow in right behind it. We headed out around 11 and arrived to the restaurant for lunch around noon before taking off to sight see. The little restaurant we ate at was settled right on the hillside with cherry blossoms blowing and a small river in the background. We spent around 4 hours walking around the hillside and went to a small coffee shop on the way back down the mountain and took everything in. I could have spend another 4 hours just sitting there listening to the birds, the wind in the trees, the little Korean kids playing in the background, and smooth jazz drounding out any thoughts of negativity. After our "nature hike" we went to a Budhist temple at the bottom of the hill and becuase I have never been to a Budhist temple I was in sheer amazement by the details these people put into everything. You'll see what I mean with the video of the guardsmen.
The other videos are of a father and daughter playing "paper, rock, scissors" on stepping stones to see who will get to the end first. It really was adorable and I had to share it with you. The other videos are of the scenery around the lakeside.
ENJOY!!!!!
