We spent this past weekend (August 25 - 27) in a city that was the capital of the ancient Silla dynasty in Korea. It's called Gyeongju and it's located about 3 hours south-east of Taejon. It was full of great things to see! We spent Saturday afternoon at one of the oldest Buddhist temple complexes in Korea and at a grotto temple that was up on a mountaintop. A large granite Buddha statue was in the grotto and the crystal in its forehead apparently catches the first morning light as the sun hits the peninsula. Both sites date back to the 600s and the views on the mountain were incredible.
On Sunday morning Brian actually hiked up the mountain with a group of crazy morning people. He also golfed on Saturday morning among the mountains and mist (his tee-off time was 4:58!). I opted to spend my morning hours relaxing at the traditional Korean sauna and public bath in the hotel (very therapeutic, also!).
There was lots of fellowship and worship throughout the weekend, and it was a great chance to hang out with people and socialize and relax. Ahhh...

Wow! Sounds like fun! although, i'm not so sure that I could have gotten up the strength to golf that early in the morning, not that i golf anyways, :P. The spa sounds more like something I'd do... lol. Anyways, God bless you in Korea!
