Mountain Climbing

Last weekend myself and two other native English speakers decided to go hiking. I was all for it during the week but when the day came I was a little skeptical. It was raining so hard with no hint that it was going to let up. The general consensus was to go anyways though and maybe get a bite to eat in hopes that it would clear up before too long. We all got ready and grabbed a taxi, it was only a 30 minute taxi ride and we split it between the three of us even though it would have been expensive for 1 person, split between 3 was not so bad.

When we got there the first thing we did was buy ponchos. Then we walked towards the national park. On our way up to the mountain trails we stopped to admire the Donghaksa. It is a temple of Buddhist monks and they really live there! We saw them walking around and we were also able to walk up to the temple and take a peak inside. Unfortunately my camera ran out of batteries around this time so I only got a few pictures! I think if I would have taken my camera out anyways I would have been worried with how heavy the raid was coming down at some points it might get ruined.

After the temple we made our way up the side of the mountain. It would have been beautiful had the ran not been so bad. The air was nice and fresh and the scenery was very pretty. I am upset I didn't get any good pictures of the mountain because of how bad the raid was. Below are pictures of the temple and the two English teachers from my city, Jessica and Aurora. One of them knew a couple from another city who met us there, I can't remember their names though.

Enjoy the pictures!!
