Korean Lesson for the Day:
Ap= Front
San= Mountain
So where did we take a hike? On the FRONT MOUNTAIN. Also known as Apsan!
We had the day to ourselves and thought we'd test out the trails. The weather is getting really chilly here! It's a fun change though from the humidity when we first arrived but has thrown us into a different level of prepared thinking, especially for hiking days.
While hiking Apsan, we stopped at a Temple on the way up and got to see a few monks preforming their rituals. Because they were participating in their religious beliefs, I didn't feel it was appropriate to snap pictures of them but we did get one right outside the ornate building!
Temple 'n it up!
We hiked about half way up Apsan and then took the cart up to the tip top of the mountain. We felt a healthy nervousness while moving closer to the Heavens unsure of Korean cable requirements.

Marvelous mountains for miles! We think it looks like Lego Land. |
