Today we took the opportunity to bask in Autumn's colourful splendor. A long rewarding hike up Daegu's holy Palgong mountains (pal = eight, gong = 0 . . . Eight-Zero Mountains).
The hike took us up a weaving path tunneling through trees bright with yellows, reds, oranges, and unturned greens. We made a stop at three Buddhist hermitages, each had its own charms.
After working up a mighty apatite we enjoyed a mountain-herb inspired version of chicken soup which included a whole chicken boiled in a broth with ginseng, jujube, and other medicinal herbs. We ate perched up on a deck watching the sun set lazily behind similar coloured leaves.
Full from the meal and exhausted from all the fresh air, we must have fallen asleep as soon as we sat down on our bus headed back into the city.
