Busy November 2

First week of November- We went to Yonginsan for a short hike with a guide for kids. It was rather short and I was thinking of hanging out some more after the hike. The thing is our packed food was not enough and we didn't bring enough cash, even the cards, so our day out was cut short.

Second week - A family moved into town, P got somehow adopted three new pet turtles suddenly so we had to figure out how to deal with these new pets. Plus there is also an upcoming orchestra regular performance by next week at Gimpo.

The kids had practice while parents met for a meeting and helped out in arranging the chairs and music stands. It was not much work with a lot of hands. But boy, did we feel hot in the early winter after that.

P and I decided not join the bus ride and opted to take a short walk. It turned out to be a short hike after we chose to explore the pathway above the tunnel through the staircase around the opening.

I already tried riding the bike through the tunnel last time and it was quite challenging. So when me and my son spotted the stairs, it seemed like an interesting new path to get to the lake park area. Good thing that he was quite up to it. I like it when people can be flexible and be up to little adventures every now and then.




What we found was like a magical land for me. I can almost imagine a story setting in those woods: starting from the staircase by the tunnel, finding a possible pathway, figuring out which way are for human and which ones is made for the water and simply enjoying the beautiful fall colors around.

Too bad that I needed to use the rest room, my son wasn't wearing a jacket and my husband will be waiting for us at the parking lot that we had to hurry through that magical land.

It was quite a sunny day and cold was relative to how much you move. The terrain was pretty steep at some part but there were a few benches along the way. I would have loved to be able to walk through that place again in a more leisurely occasion.
