Jinju

On Saturday, we visited Jinju, a town of about 350,000 people. It's about an hour from Tongyeong. We had been to this city one previous time for the Lamp Festival, but everything was crowded at that time and we didn't get to take it in. Yesterday it was pretty much deserted, and quite peaceful. The castle and its grounds are on a hill overlooking the city on one side, and the river on the other. The trees were beautifully colored and it was a great experience. There is also a huge history museum, but once we saw the size of it up close, we knew that we would not have time to conquer all of it in an hour. So, we firugre that we will be back in the future to walk through that.
Today we are going to get some grocery shopping done, and just relax a bit. It's hard to believe that we've been here 4 months already; time is really flying by!
