We started our day by visiting the Shilla Millennium Park. This park was set up like an ancient village. They do several performances here. We watched a horse/warrior show as well as a historical battle. They had a craft village where E and her grandma both got to make their own ceramic pots. It should arrive in the mail any day!
From there we drove around town an admired all the burial mounds. These were incredible! While E and dad took a nap in the car I walked around the park with my parents to see a few. Some oddly resembled my current profile.
We then made it to Bulguksa Temple, which is one of the most famous in Korea. Although it was pretty similar to all the other temples and palaces we've seen it was in a beautiful location up on the hillside. In one are there were several rock piles which I think are made as a form of worship. All of us (including E) loved trying to get a perfect picture of them.
E couldn't wait to get to the hotel where she and her best friend Snuggles got to sleep.
The next day we were hit by Typhoon Bolaven so decided to spend our morning at the museum before heading home. The typhoon only brought rain and intense wind to the east coast where we were. The museums were full of artifacts discovered in some of the burial mounds and ponds. At the children's museum E got to make an imprint of an ox, her Chinese Zodiac.
Great trip...thanks mom and dad! (See their blog post here).
