Bennegol Weekend Retreat!

This weekend, Jessica, Carlos, Aaron, Luda, Billy and I all took a train into Bennegol (a famous valley in korea to see the fall leaves). It's about an hour and a half train ride from my place and was the equivalent of $22.00 for transportation and accomodations!


We all rented a condo together in this mountain...


We spent the weekend laughing, talking, playing black jack and circle of death...

...taking walks...


... skipping rocks in this river (the other side of the river had a bit more water)...


...taking pictures of nature...


... sitting high up on hay stacks...

...enjoying the wildflowers...

... checking out old, run down, Korean homes along the road...


...picking apples from an apple orchard... (This was especially exciting for me because I'm a freak about apples and this was the 1st time I'd ever seen apples growing on a tree!!)

The owner of the apple orchard gave me a bunch of free apples when he saw how excited I was to pick one!

... admiring the gorgeous fall leaves...

... taking pictures of each other...

...attempting to catch the butterflies...

...watching people scoop water from the stream inside this mountain...

...holding puppies...

...walking a mile to get to the restaurant...


... enjoying all the FREE fruit around...

...searching for crawdads and heart shaped rocks (which we found 5 of!), listing to music, BBQing together and just plain having a great weekend together!
