long lost blog....

Dear blog readers- I know I have not posted anything of too much excitement recently. However, life has been pretty normal lately. It's really like anywhere else, it starts to become a routine. I go to work and out to eat and walk around and do normal everyday things.

This weekend I am going on a hiking trip, so I should have some pictures to post. Here is a description of the hike. I am a little afraid of these "suspension bridges" at the top, but they say they are perfectly safe, so I'm sure they are....

"There will be a trip to Mt. Daedun this Saturday 5th December. This mountain in the Jeollabuk province is one of the most spectacular mountains in Korea. The scenery here is breathtaking. We will be taking a cable car most of the way up the mountain. Then the peak is only a couple of bridges away.

Be warned that these bridges look scary, but they are perfectly safe. The best part of the trip will be reaching the peak of the mountain. An incredible 360 degree view makes it all worth it! On the way down, you may either take the cable car or hike it. The hike down takes 2 fun hours. The cable car takes 7 minutes. So if you don't like hiking, you can spend those extra two hours enjoying the many markets and restaurants in the area.

There are the great variety of things to see and the scenic views, the strangely shaped rocks in almost every corner of the valleys would be examples.

The mountain houses the eighty meter height bridge, and one can see faraway the West Sea when the sky is clear from the bridge. The long, beautiful yet steep hike includes crossing two hair-raising suspension bridges over deep cliffs."

This past weekend, I did enjoy a Thanksgiving potluck. It was delicious. There was a turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy! I made home made stuffing which was the hit of the dinner I think. I plan on making it again for the Christmas dinner.
