Hiking and Fall Colors

So we haven't written anything for a while... There has not been anything too amazing to report about. Everyday we just work in the daytime and come home and relax until we go to bed. We got ourselves in a good routine and eat a lot of delicious food...

Something we have done lately is hiking. We did three hikes over the past few weeks. The first one to report on happened near where we live. We went on a bus over to an area we had never gone to before and went hiking up one of the ridges to Bukhan San (북한산). I didn't know exactly where I was going and I think Jenna figured that out quickly. We eventually found a trail though.

As you can see it began up a pretty steep hillside. A little creepy... It reminded me of that staircase that Sam and Frodo climbed in the Return of the King. Parts of the stairs were carved into the granite hillside.

After ascending to the ridge line, we hiked up the ridge.



We got to the top after going up some pretty steep rock outcroppings. We saw a guy walk by us up this trail that did it all barefooted!

Here's the top. The city in the distance is about one-tenth of the city of Seoul.



And the journey back down...
