In Which It is Very Hazy

So, I think this one will be pretty short on the writing. We went out and hit another Olle trail on Saturday. This was number 21, and I liked it. I've had my eye on it for a while, really, but we haven't been able to get out and do it until now. It was cool. Most of it was on the coast, and the hill had a great view out at Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) and Udo. We also went to Hado Beach, which is another one of the beaches on our list. Now there's only two or three on there that we haven't been to. We also saw another pony and an awesome dog. The main drawback of this trail was that there were NO CONVENIENCE STORES. For those who have never been to Korea, or Asia in general, know that this is very unusual. Like, crazy unusual. I have been to few places where there hasn't been at least one convenience store from one of the three major chains (CU, GS25, and 7-11). Here, there was nothing, and we didn't go very prepared. We finally found a tiny mart that was attached to a restaurant that only sold seafood ramen (no thanks) and so we were able to buy some snacks, but that was the trying part of this trail. Also, it was really hazy out. You can see it in the pictures. You couldn't see the mountain at all, though, which is too bad, because there probably would have been some awesome views. Anyway, overall I liked it. Here are some pictures.

Looking across the water at Udo.

The hill we climbed. It's called Jimi Oreum. I thought that as kind of a funny name, but whatever.

Taking a rest halfway up the hill.

Pony!

Stamp!

This dog was really nice.

Then there was this wall. Don't know what it came from, but it was pretty cool.

Then I climbed the wall.

I was going to climb up to the second level, too, but I didn't want to have to worry about getting down.
Well, that's about all I have to say about that. Can anyone believe that we have less than a month left? Crazy! We'll try to keep you posted on things that happen here as our time in Korea draws to a close. This is Captain Danger out.
