Jindo Sea Parting!

Wowza! By the time it got to be April 6th, I was beginning to feel the fatigue of going on these trips every weekend, but since the last weekend filled me with a genuine enjoyment of hiking I was really excited for the Sea Parting and hopefully seeing some cherry blossoms finally! Oh, and some really cute Jindo Puppies :)

Again, this is a very heavy photo post so I hope you enjoy!

The shoes we got to walk across for 10,000 won. Helped keep our feet nice and dry!








Bryan and I!


She did not have shoes, she had on dish washing gloves...on her feet.




The moon that night was unbelievable!



JINDO PUPPIES!

Me with the awesome jingo dog who did some neat tricks for us.


Did a hike later on that day, was tons of fun and warm :)





And before leaving we saw a wonderful performances of traditional Korean harvesting songs.


And we even got to be a part of the last song and dance!

Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival! With no cherry blossoms :P

Again, this post is going to be VERY photo heavy as I have a hard time picking photos that best depict my trips. And, I'm pretty happy with how much I have been learning from my new camera.

I took another trip with Warren and Seoul Hiking Group the following weekend of the Yelloando and Yeso trip from March 31st to April 1st. We spent the first day at Geoje Island, along with a hike before we went to the island. I had a big group of friends to be with again which was nice and was able to see a friend from my training, Alanna!

On Sunday morning, Palm Sunday, I did a sunrise hike with my friends Bryan and Holm who were also on the trip. It was amazing and for me, a rather inexperienced hiker, fairly difficult. Not being able to see where I was going defiantly hindered my ability.


Lastly, we went to Jinhae wherethey were having a cherry blossom festival with, you guess it, no cherry blossoms! We managed to have fun regardless anyway though!

The very Awesome Warren! He puts on all the trips for Seoul Hiking Group
