The first full weekend in May, John and I headed to Gyeongju, the historic capital of the Silla dynasty. After checking into our hostel, we headed out to see the historical center. First we found this old museum, where we got a personal tour of the facilities from an older gentleman.
After grabbing a quick lunch, we then popped into this strange little museum full of strange memorabilia, taxidermied critters, old currency, and (of course) penises.
It was a fantastic spring day, and there were flowers everywhere.
After that, we checked out the royal tombs, which are now smooth green hills.
We took a break in the clover to enjoy the beautiful spring afternoon and rest for a bit. It was really nice to be able to have some time in a setting approximating nature, in peace and quiet without anyone bumping into me.
Next we went to the Anapji complex, complete with beautiful pagodas and reflecting ponds.
