Beach Day!!!

Anticipation has been driving us crazy so we finally made a trip to the beach!!! The beach was much like beaches in the US. There were lots of people, and there were vendors set up on the beach renting umbrellas and beach chairs. There were also places where you could rent a jet ski or ride on a banana boat. However, you are always aware that aren't in the US because the Koreans go into the water in tee shirts or many of them are even fully clothed. We decided to go in our swimsuits because we didn't have a change of clothes, but you do fill much more conscience of your near nudity when you're the only ones without clothes. We were not prepared at all for a beach day because Chris and I both only brought one towel each and neither of us wanted to take the towels that we use everyday down to the beach to get all sandy. So we just got in the water and enjoyed the waves instead of laying on the beach. The landscape surrounding the water is beautiful. There are mountains in the distance come right up to the water in places. After we finished we had a little difficulty finding a place to clean up. We searched for showers or at least a place to wash our feet off, but there was nothing in sight except for what appeared to be a small baby pool. We're still not sure exactly what the mini pool was intended for, but we used it to wash our feet and the bottom half of our bodies! Later, we discovered that in Korea the showers are provided across the rode from the beach by different businesses in hopes that they might attract you into their store or restaurant. After cleaning up a little we looked around for seafood, but because of our inexperience in ordering food in Korean, we opted for chicken wings as a safe bet. Later, we visited a small corner bakery shop where we had dessert. There are awesome little bakeries all over the place. They've definitely become our favorite indulgence in Korea! It was a great day at the beach!!!

Sorry we only took one picture, we'll try to do better next time.
