South Korea and a peek into the North 
From Seoul I took a train south to see my friend Marissa in Gyeoungsan, just below Daegu.  She had just bought a car, so we road-tripped it up to Sokcho in the northeast to where she used to live.  Along the way I spotted a Hyundai Terracan, which is the truck Ed and I co-leased in Qatar.  Memories!!

Marissa and I went directly to the Unification Tower.  I am standing in South Korea, directly behind me is the DMZ, and past that is North Korea.  I think I may have gotten a glimpse of the Dear Leader..

Some of Marissas friends were meeting up for a goodbye lunch, and I tagged along.   Ok, so no gossip, but doesn't this photo just scream "Awkward!!"  ;-)

As we hike the path through this beautiful valley we come upon a giant Buddha.

A little further down the road there were some Buddhist temples with a stunning backdrop.

After a cable car ride and a quick but death defying hike we stood on top of the world.  The city of Sokcho and the Pacific Ocean are behind me.
