Fun Stuff In Jeongseon

I read online about this cool waterfall...& the picture on this site is beautiful.  Really, click; go look at what at is online.  This is what we found.  Seriously, there is a waterfall behind me!

Back at the pension we went to the 'beach' where we had tons of fun!  For some reason we are attracted to streams.  We skipped rocks here; Hubby is excellent at skipping rock! And we played on the beach and in the stream.  Inevitably someone always ends up very wet when we do something like this, but that just makes it more fun!  On this trip Boy 1 started building a rock bridge out to a little 'island' in the steam, eventually everyone pitched in to help.  I enjoyed sitting back watching while all the kids work together.  Several times I thought to myself, how great this was as I watched my children all working together without fighting or squabbling.  I can't tell you how much joy this day brought me.

Almost done....

Here they are, all done! (Notice how wet Boy 1 is?)

The next morning Hubby and I woke up early and headed out for a hike.  Boy 3 VOLUNTEERED to stay in the pension with his younger siblings while we hiked.  (Anything to get out of hiking!)   It was such a nice morning to be hiking with the one I love.  As we walked we noticed how quiet it was and we talked about how 'this' is how it was going to be when the kids were off on their own. (Not that we are rushing things.)  But then reality hit and we realized we would be MUCH OLDER when the kids had moved on and how ONE of us (me)  would be pushing the other person (him) up the mountain in a wheel chair!

This is the trail we followed, and if you look closely you will see our tour guides ~ 3 dogs that live at the pension guided us up the mountain.  I love the foggy effect....

Sometimes we find the oddest things while hiking.....

This 'intersection' was about 1/2 way up the mountain!

In the jungle....

After much searching we found the mineral springs!

I dig the bench around this tree!

After our hike we went back to the pension, packed up and headed out to our next destinations, Nan Hyang Ro Wan, some place we thought was the 5 Day Market, the 5 Day Market & Hwa-am Cave!

But first, here we are in some rice paddies!
