exploring town...

today Jessica and I got to explore an area of Yeongju that we haven't seen yet.  behind our apartment is a hill with small houses on it.  we started walking up through the neighborhood and found yet another school on top.  Schools are everywhere.  They also go on Saturday...interesting.  anyway, as we walked up the hill we started getting really great views of our "small town".  we passed some kind of memorial that looked like a very old traditional house.  it was fenced in with old stone and wood.  we'll get pictures up as soon as we can...hopefully getting a camera tomorrow in Seoul.  later we found the beginning of a trail and followed it up yet another hill.  it turned out to be a walking trail that ended (or maybe began) in a city park.  along the trail we walked through gardens of the nearby houses.  i couldn't tell what all the plants were, but i do remember pumpkins.  after we came to the end (or beginning) of the trail in the park, we rested for a bit and then crossed the road and walked along the river.  there are miles of walking/biking paths along the river.  we were hungry so we walked back home and at a nutritious lunch of chips, salsa, and bacon.
