Hiking Daejeon, part one

So there isn't actually a part two coming up immediately. It's just that hiking is a really big activity here, so I am sure there will be more hikes to come! This was my first hike, already a few weeks ago now, with Song and Arielle. We thought it was going to be a short, light hike followed by swimming in a reservoir. Except that there didn't wind up being any place to swim, and we wound up going on a 12 km, intensely hilly, four hour hike. It was awesome. We were also adopted by an old Korean man who stayed with us for the second half of the hike and made sure we didn't get lost in the woods.

Koreans are super into hiking. They all have little matching hiking outfits, and camelbacks, and walking sticks. We sort of stuck out in our workout clothes and ponytails!
