Our Day of Mountains

Yesterday (Saturday) we went on a day trip with our friends, the Porters, and a teacher from the school, Brooke. We went to this little temple nestled up in the mountains that was over 1300 years old. We also stood on a mountain peak at the southernmost end of Korea. We also stood on a mountain that you could see the east & west coasts of Korea from.

It has to have been some of the most incredible natural and ancient beauty that I've seen. Here's some pictures, but they won't do justice to anything that we saw.


The mountain that you can see both coasts from.


This is the temple in the mountain. It's really only about 3 meters by 3 meters in size. It's really small but really beautiful and it has a great view.


Here is where we went.


Brooke, Emily and Ivory on a bridge at this other temple we went to.


This is at the same temple as the bridge picture. If you count three rows from the front and five back, that's Buddha. Four over and seven back is Buddha too. Nine over and six back? Buddha. And the one that's thirteen over and seventeen back is Buddha too. There's actually 979 Buddhas here. That's a lotta Buddha.
