November 1, 2014 - Touring Around Tongyeong

It's Saturday in Tongyeong. Jordan and Minju took us on a wonderful tour of the area and we visited Miraesa Temple, where Minju had an opportunity to pay tribute to her parents. Before we left, we enjoyed a simple, but delicious meal in the temple kitchen.


From the car - the bright green shows new grass planting

The trees are supported after planting to guard against the wind blowing them over
