Saturday morning we headed east to check out some sights listed in my travel guide. .Sanbangsan, a mountain with a cave halfway up that was turned into a temple (Sanbanggulsa). The temple is as far as you can climb, because the mountain is considered too sacred for anyone to climb to the top. .A view from the mountain. .A fountain in the temple, which is filled by constant drips from the ceiling of the cave. The water is said to be medicinal so I drank some (three cup fulls, like the monk said). However, now I have a cough. .Part of the southwest coastline. .Across the street from the Sanbangsan was the Yongmeori coastline. It was a pretty small area, but the cliffs were beautiful. It was one of my favorite parts of the trip.
A shot of the cliffs from near the water. .There were a lot of women along the water selling raw seafood and soju (cheap Korean hard alcohol, which people drink all times of the day). We passed on the snack. . One of the women getting fresh water for her produce. .More Yongmeori coastline.
Two more blending in pictures, haha:The world-cup stadium on the way back to the hotel that night. It really fits the sea them of the island, doesn't it. I liked it more every time we drove past.
