Lunch in the hills...






On Sunday afternoon we were treated to a homecooked traditional Korean lunch at the home of one of Brian's students. What a treat! They have a summer house on one of the small mountains just outside of Taejon and, when we arrived, we found an incredible lunch waiting for us on a low wooden platform outside, surrounded by pear trees and gardens. It was so beautiful. All of the food was homemade and delicious, and Brian and I asked many questions about how things were made. Mrs. Shon, the mom of Brian's student, has offered to teach me to make kimchi later in the fall, which I am very excited about! Here are some photos of the lunch and the surrounding landscape. We spent the afternoon chatting and strolling through the orchards and hills. It was fabulous.
