Moses Miracle at Jindo

In March, we went to see the "Moses Miracle" at Jindo.  I'm pretty sure that's South Western Korea...I just paid my money for the tour and went where they told me!  These first few pictures are from a town that's famous for it's Japanese plum blossoms.  Apparently, the light pink/white flowers are for plum trees.  Who knew??

If we had been a couple of days later, they would have all been in full bloom and this whole mountainside would have looked like a big fluffy cloud...but you take what you can get right?

Some traditional stuff...

Don't you want me to teach your child?  I'm especially great with bronze children...

Our next stop was the green tea fields.  Again, we were a little earlier.  They are best when they are really really bright green...but I still thought they were awesome.

I climbed this.

Sneak attack!! An adorable father daughter moment.

View from the top!

Photographic evidence that I was actually there.

Then we went to the festival at the beach in Jindo.  These are drunk old Korean people dancing in the street and drawing in some Western guys.  My friend later got whisked away by a suave Korean dancer.

The full view of the festival.  Selling lots of Korean products like ginseng, seaweed and other stuff.  And lots of street food.  And Soju.

Time for the parting of the sea!!

So people didn't really walk across to the other island.  They mostly walked a few feet and then started digging for mollusks.

There was some nice sun action.

My first star fish sighting!

One of my best pictures from the day.  At this point I was pretty damn cold and exhausted...and we still had a 5 hour bus ride home...
