Yeongwol (영월) & Body Exhibit

On Saturday we took a day trip with our friends Amy and Heath to a small town named Yeongwol. It was only about 40 miles from Wonju by car. We first toured a cave just outside the town called Gossi (고씨) Cave. It was fairly quiet there and as there are a few paths, we felt like real adventurers! We had all packed a picnic lunch, and drove along the large river until we came across a big group of rafters. We enjoyed our lunch down by the water and afterward followed the river for some time and stopped at some nice rock formations. We drove back to Wonju and finished our day with a nice shabu-shabu dinner (Jananese style meal with thinly sliced beef dipped in a hot pot of water, wrapped in a rice and lettuce ball).

Today we visited the "Mysterious Human Body" exhibit that was in Wonju. Since it was the last day in our city, we thought we better check it out. This is a world-renowned exhibit showing off the human body. It was a bit gruesome but also quite informational and fascinating.

Next week H's school has final exams, so she won't have many classes this week as the kids are preparing for their 12-subject, 3-day exam! B's finals don't start for another two weeks, so it's teaching as normal for him this week.

We grabbed pizza after the Human Body Exhibit: Dayle, B, Heath, Amy, H, and Hee-kyung.
