Bukhansan (Mt. Bukhan)

Melissa, Hannah and I climbed up Bukhansan today (April 3, 2010). The weather couldn't have been more perfect- 50 degrees, sunny, clear = amazing. Halfway up we stopped and enjoyed a snack of tteok with red bean paste inside, crackers and Yujacha (traditional Korean tea made from thinly sliced yuja fruit with the peels and honey or sugar, mixed with hot water). 

... almost there

we made it!
When we reached the peak, it felt like such an accomplishment. It was packed with people of all ages taking advantage of the beginnings of Spring. Check out our video as proof.


it was cold and windy, but so worth it

(They also gave us some hard-boiled eggs and apples!)

the tiny specks are rock climbers
