Easter

So this Easter, while I didn't go to church, have a big, delish-y meal, or even watch my tradional "Ten Commandments,", I did manage to have a fantastic day with one of my best friends here. Les and I went climbing at Ganyeon, a place we had been to before. We met up with a guy who is new to KOTR (Korea on the Rocks), as well as a few other members. It was a beautiful day--gorgeous when the sun was out, and just chilly enough to make you want to zip up when it would hide behind the mountains. I climbed well that day, making it up two routes I've never tried before. The Easter bunny even managed to stop by and drop off some Easter eggs for us...

There were only two minor snags in the day. The first was a totally unexpected rain moved in and caused us to pack up early. That was quickly remedied with some dak tori tang (some kind of ah-maz-ing chicken soup...it's seriously one of my new fav's). The second surprise came when Les and I bought our train tickets to return to Seoul. The only space left was "standing room". So essentially we sat on the floor, totally exhausted, for two hours on the way home. It wasn't all bad. We each bought a beer and passed out. True, our butts experienced a new kind of sore when we finally stood up again, but overall, it was a fantastic Easter!
