The Great Outdoors












We needed a little weekend getaway in the countryside. The city can be a bit too city sometimes.

We traveled traveled about two hours north/east out of the city to Chuncheon, popular for their lakes and general outdoor recreation.

Our particular rest stop was in Jiparigol Natural Forest and a 'pension' (the name they use for a motel where you get to cook your own food) (and you might find a huge spider) right in the middle of nowhere.

After an absolutely peaceful morning we rode bikes by the lake. On the lake is a famous statue of a young lady who is waiting for her love. This is based on a popular song from the 70's. Anyhow, the trip was really nice and we were back in Seoul in time for dinner!
