Around Gunsan

Last weekend Matt and I went on a date (yay!) and decided to do and see things around Gunsan. First I wanted to take some pictures of Gunsan city and show that it really can be pretty!

These are the rice fields just off the highway.

Rice fields edged by pepper plants!

So the Koreans are big on growing peppers and they like to dry them in the sun....


....so why not dry them on the streets!

Very strange, but they do it everywhere! Streets, sidewalks- basically anywhere they can throw down a tarp!


Then we went to eat dinner at Galbi (aka, Beef on a Leaf) and it was delicious- as always. After that we went to Baskin Robbins and got the ice cream and fruit fondue plate- yummy!
The dessert!

There was so much to eat!

But we managed to eat it all! Ya! :)

We went to Eunpa park to see the lit up bridge and fountain! It was very beautiful!

An elderly Korean asked if we wanted our picture taken...he was so funny while he took it! He tried to count in English 1,2,3 but his daughters had to help him :)

We thought we were just going to take the rest of the walk around the lake...but what we didn't know, was that to get back to our original place was about a 2+ mile walk. Not quite what we envisioned but it was still fun! The bridge from the other side of lake.

What every good park needs at the end- a stretching/workout machine!

The Koreans LOVE them!
