Sokcho 2013

Took the slow van from Seoul to Sokcho - scary slow -the driver would go 40 in the fast lane on a 60 mph highway.  Then he'd slow down even more when he got a phone call.   But the drive was worth it with Ruth and Boaz's (their English names) home at the end of the little paved trails through the rice paddies.  

A little walk yielded a beautiful heron taking off and a close up of some local invertebrates...I was looking at what I first thought was a worm on wet pavement..."Why did the leech cross the road?"

Anyway, it didn't affect our appetite for the amazing spread that Ruth and her friends put together for the huge crew.
