Temple Stay

I officially completed my last day of my 1st week of English summer camp and am proud to say it went REALLY WELL!  

I'm headed downstairs to eat lunch with a couple of the teachers and then I'm jumping in the car with my principal to meet Ella, and another teacher at a bus station!  Then we'll drive 4 hours together, by bus, to Guinsa Temple in Chungcheongbuk-do province, where we will be spending the weekend, hiking, eating, sitting, and meditating in the swealtering heat!   It would be a lie if I said I'm looking forward to it.  At this point, I'm just pushing myself to go for the experience and the culture!

This is where I will be sleeping (approx 4-5 hrs a night) in the temple dormitory!
Wish me luck!
