Weekend at the beach

Since we had a 3 day weekend, all of us CUA kids signed up with Adventure Korea to visit Geomundo Island. It's small--most Koreans haven't even heard of it--but it was the perfect vacation. We weren't surrounded by crowds of Korean tourists--it was very low key. We left from Hongdae at 11:30 PM and drove through the night, reaching the ferry at 6:00 AM. We spent the weekend hiking, swimming, drinking cheap Korean beers by the shore, singing and sharing drinks with some old local islanders, etc.


Geomundo! It's really two islands connected by a bridge. It's halfway to Jeju, but yeah--not a huge tourist destination. Thus the PERFECT TRIP.

Pictures of the Baekdo Islands. There are about 100 small rock islands close to Geomundo. We got a ferry tour around them on our first day.


A boy on the beach. The water was really that pretty--very clear and aqua. Even though it was cold, some of us went all the way in.

During our hike, some of us did a detour and climbed up this rock mountain, nicknamed "Wizard Rock Mountain" or something like that. We saw all of these old men and women on it, so we figured, "how hard could it be?" Um...those are some tough elderly folk.


The wishing rock towers. You add your rock and make a wish.


A diva shot of Liz and Dean!


And finally, a picture from our drive home.
