Hello, all. K here. June is just around the corner, and that means two things. It is getting super hot, and we are leaving soon! This has left us feeling that we need to do everything we wanted to do just one more time before we leave Korea now, and it's a bit overwhelming. Last week's issue was the Suncheon Bay Gardens, which you may remember as one of our very first posts after moving here almost two years ago. The beauty of these gardens is that they are incredibly extensive, and while we spent five hours there last year, and nearly as long this time, I'm still not sure we've seen absolutely everything there is. And even if we had, exhibits are added so often that it's a new experience each time anyway. Highlights of this year's excursion involved...
A mariachi band in the Mexican garden:
A floating tandem bicycle ride:
Strange wooden sculptures wading into the lake:
A goose who didn't know he wasn't a duck:
A field of tulips:
And a love garden:
The weather was absolutely perfect, as you can see, and we managed to buy an umbrella to keep from sunburning (that now makes six umbrellas we have to our name in Korea, but who's counting). We enjoyed green tea ice cream as a snack, and I successfully managed to get through the gift shop without another plant for our already overcrowded apartment, unlike last year. It's a shame we won't be seeing this place again before we go, but we loved each visit and will surely recommend it to our teaching replacements.
Have a great week, everyone!
