And then we got on the boat...
The weather is fabulous, the company is good.
Yours truly is tickled pink because the sun is shining just like it's supposed to.
And we settle into our beach. It's empty...it is glorious.
Katie took a run to the water. Stopped short. It was about 10 degrees in there...nearly unbearable even for one's ankles. Still, sea water is heaven on earth. We had to get in.
Korean Baywatch?
Wine on the beach. Delicious.
Back at the camp, Kara prepared dinner at the outdoor kitchen.
This place was really, really nice.
It's amazing what you can come to recognize as, "nice" after a year in Asia.
Outside our room at the dining table, Katie, Michelle, Kara and I have one of many laughs about something or other. Twas a good time.
Later, we retreated to the beach where some Koreans helped the boys make a bonfire. Bon is right.
But this Korean did not like the idea that we had fashioned this blaze. Eventually, he retreated and the fire burned on.
In the morning, it was clear that the "wild cat" the owner had warned us about had paid our "stove" a visit :)
After a looong day of cold and rain, the drink took over, the noses got pretty red, and the camera just could not resist the taking of ridiculous photographs.
Looking out from our room, the water created a setting sun over the sea effect as it poured down from the plastic covering. Oh, the water.
But inside the Batcave, the mosquito net was taken out and under it we congregated. To, you know, keep warm and entertained.
Alas, we did have to return. Seagulls followed us all the way from the coast for the promise of food. Not-so-silly birds.
As my time in Korea draws to a close, I appreciate weekends like these, times like this, more than I might be able to express. The sea, the company, the drastic weather changes, being away from the city, being surrounded by like-minded individuals...it all makes me very, very happy.
