L-and-N: Fall Workshop trip to Jinju

Nick and I started off the wonderful workshop trip in the CEV van with Josh, Lauren, Sohee, Richard and Suzi. That alone could have made it the greatest workshop trip ever but there was so much more to come.

Our first rest stop off the highway wasn't very good, guessing by looks, so we got back on the highway and took the next one. It also didn't look great for lunch so we went to the bathroom and jumped back on the road. The third stop was a charm. We sat and ate a wonderful lunch of Bibimbop and Ttok Ramyun!

We hit the road again and before we knew it we were in Namhae. Nick spotted a turtle boat and really wanted to take a ride in it but settled for a picture. We got lucky that our next stop was near it. We ran and took a picture of it before we got on our boat. On our boat ride we fed the seagulls, saw a dead body, dolphins, and flying (jumping) fish. It was a great adventure.

Super Sweet Bridge!

Turtle Boat!!!!!!!

Mine!?

We left Namhae after the boat ride and headed towards Jinju. We found our Valentine motel, checked in and had a couple hours to ourselves. Nick and I chose to relax for a little bit then go out and explore the town. We found an awesome toy store right next door to where we were staying. We also walked a small portion of the river and just got to know our where we were staying.

We left for the city with dinner on our minds. Sohee found us a wonderful “all you can eat” meat buffet and it was delicious. After we ate we walked to the lantern festival. We were super excited about it because we wanted to go before we left Korea. I’m glad we were able to go and see how beautiful it was. I felt like we didn't have enough time to really explore all of the lanterns, mostly because we didn't realize the lanterns were just in the one area so we walked past them and into many tents. We really wasted time there. All of the teachers stuck together until the last little bit because some were taking a long time to do something so they were left behind.

SO LANTERN-Y I'M GONNA DIE!!!!

Nick got too much into playing with his glow sword.

Me and 'Manda rockin' the Glow Bows!

TO VICTORY ON MY NOBLE BULL!

The next day we were able to wake up slow and then we hit the road. We went back to the lantern festival only this time we were on the other side where the temple was. It was a place we all wanted to see at night but we didn't have the time to get there. We are glad we got to go during the day though.
