Mountain paradise

It's been cloudy and gray for weeks, but today the sky finally cleared a little and we got a better of Mount Bukak from our porch.

Mount Bukak is one of the four mountains that surrounds old Seoul. You might remember that back in November, I took a hike through a newly opened trail on the mountain. The mountain butts up to the Presidential Blue House and the trail I went on was used by North Korean would-be assassins in 1968 on their way to kill President Park Chung Hee.

To get to the mountain's trails, all we have to do it walk up a couple flights of stairs behind our house and we're in the forest. It's pretty amazing being this close to nature. I can't wait until it's cooler out so we can spend more time out there.
