saturday we went to a place called naminara island. it's an island in the middle of a river, with all sorts of fun paths and random little picture-perfect places.
this is probably my favorite picture of tim from this summer..

this path is super famous in korea. a movie was filmed on the island and the town nearby, and apparently they used images of the path a fair bit.

there were lots of these flowers around the island.

as we started travelling on saturday, michelle and i both bought new hats! yayy hats! the piles of rocks behind me are wish-piles. there is a korean tradition that if you pile rocks on top of each other like that and make a wish, your wish will come true.

as we left the island saturday, we saw a tethered hot air balloon.. it took me almost 10 minutes to finally catch it lit up. pretty cool.
