Apsan Mountain







This is the 4th Monday that we have been in the mountains-this one overlooks Daegu-we can see the communications tower from where we live. At the base of the Mountain is also Camp Walker-We were surprised to see so many Koreans hiking on a Monday-where we, took the Tram to get to the top, most of them just hike up the Mountain!!! At the base of the Mountain is a park that has outdoor exercise equipment-all kinds, even a self back massager!! We also met a family from Scotland on the Mt. Their son Craig is an English teacher here in Daegu.

The time goes by too fast when you are having so much fun!! Sister Jennings-thanks for such a yummy Breakfast- it was a day to remember-the Mountain was Beautiful-The Tram ride was awesom. The South Gate- part of the Fortress wall was great for a backdrop for a group picture' everyone seemed to have a lot of fun!!
