Then some gooooood Japanese ramen Sunday night, and Korean bbq on Monday night! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

In fact we got such a late start and took our sweet time getting ready, we wondered whether or not we were actually going to make it to the mountain at all. The catch phrase of the day became, “Are we going hiking today??” Continue reading The Beast of Gajisan
