Gwangan-li fireworks festival

I thought it would just be flashing lights, and mind you it was, but it really was something. I caught myself saying 'wow' without the slightest intonation of sarcasm.

Carving Party

At Amy and Brians pad carving some pumpkins. After we sifted the maggots out it came out quite nice. Beer, pizza, pumpkin seeds, and good company. Not too shabby.

Field Kitchen and Jirisan Lodge

5km up we slept on hardwood with 200 other hikers. The lodge had a field kitchen filled with the smells of Korean soup and barbecue. A group invited us for dinner offering up their hot noodle soup, homemade kimchi, and soju to warm the soul. The next morning, while cooking breakfast, one of our neighbors gave us some delicious Korean pancakes.
