Gangneung
Hello from the East coast of Korea. Our predicted seven hour motorcycle trip to Gangneung ended up taking more than 18 hours over two days, due to rain, confusing maps and signs, and winding mountain roads. But we’re here, and the long journey was part of the adventure. The scenery was gorgeous! I’ll be taking the bus back on Wednesday since I have to work on Thursday and can’t bank on getting back in one day by motorcycle. Adam and Bill are jealous that I’ll have the easy way home, but I think they’ll be okay. :).
Anyway, we’re relaxing, exploring a little, and eating incredible food with our lovely host family. Our hotel is very nice and comfortable, the town is quaint, and the beach is perfect. It reminds me a bit of Ocean City, New Jersey, my favorite vacation spot in the states. It’s a summer destination town that is nice and sleepy in the Fall.
I’ll share more about our trip in a bit, but I wanted to at least say hello. Happy Chuseok!Â
