Sunday Hiking Adventure

We are taking a well deserved break from school today and we went a long hike in Tapgol park, near our home. There was a lot of little surprises along the way. We walked about 20 minutes to get to the park and found a steep incline walking path that went straight up the side of a mountain. We made it pretty far above the city, very quickly.

We kept walking and got onto a normal path, which led us up to an exercise park... These exercise parks are very common here. They have exercise machines just kind of in the middle of nowhere, you wont be far from a good workout anywhere here in Korea, even at the top of a mountain... :/ (as if we didn't burn enough calories just getting there)

After our brief workout, we went forth and came across another very interesting thing, A path that is made of small rocks. The purpose of this is to walk on it barefoot for pressure points. I gotta say, it hurt!

About ten more minutes of walking, we turned a corner and saw a really cool modern looking building and a glass tower, it was an amazing view! Pictures do not do it justice. We found out after looking around more that it was a church. You can see the cross on the tower. We climbed the tower and it was about 100 degrees inside there.

So, that is what we did today! Back to school tomorrow. I hope everyone is having a good weekend, wherever you are.
