CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN....Our trip to the Korean Alps

It was a rainy, wind swept day my friends...but that didn't deter "Little E" and the band of merry men (& women) to make the yearly pilgramage to....MT SORAKSAN (namesake of our beloved apartment building). The adventure proved fruitful, with Emma discovering the land of "happy toilets" sized just for her.








In addition we caught a rare glimpse of "THE TARANTULA", infamously known in the Korean Trucking World. WHAT A BEAUTY!!!







We were also quite fortunate the Koreans have a great rest-stop system complete with restaurants etc. much like you see in Europe. We were absolutely giddy with excitement when we saw they served our favorite dish...mmm, boiled fish paste, with real seaweed no less!!!!




Mushroom?

The town is known for it's delicious "mushrooms". What might Freud say?



Lot's O' Hiking in the Korean Outback. The Pilgramage to Mt. Sorak was fraught with danger. Many a Korean broke their neck checking out Emma's blonde hair.



At the end of the trail was a nice waterfall, stream and.....






Monkeys? Tell me these folks don't look like chimps perched on the rocks, looking at you through a glass window at your local zoo.




We even found a way, after a full day of moutaineering, to get the Karokee band back together...we rocked the rainbow room with songs like "In the Navy" while drinking ice cold HITE beer!

Legendary (& rarely seen) Dick Snickers;

singer, dancer, & auctioneer showed up for the gig. Out-a-sight!
