Week 4

Come back soon!
After this hike, we hiked for two more hours to the tallest peak in Songnison. That route was a bit more rugged, and so we did not take many photographs!
We made it! This is Emily and I on Munjongdae's peak. We experienced very heavy winds!
And here he is!
This picture was taken by an incredibly nice Korean man who we spoke with for quite some time.

We are almost there!
There were several temples along the way to the mountain top.
The above picture marks the beginning of our 10 mile hike. My friend Emily is on the left.
This is the largest Buddha statue in S. Korea.

Many things have happened since last weekend. Since we've been studying so hard for Korean Language Classes, our Orientation Coordinators planned a weekend trip for us to Songnisan. The word songi means "escape from the vulgar," which is pretty accurate because it was rather beautiful and relaxing. Here are some pictures from our trip. Enjoy!
