Uhhh... actually we're a little shady on the exact days we did stuff but basically we took the week to show Fanta around Colorful, Colorful Daegu. This is the motto of Daegu which gets ridiculed constantly by foreigners and locals alike but, in the climax of the fall season, it truly lives up to its name.
We checked out the herbal medicine market, went to our favorite tea houses, did some downtown shopping, and ate at some more of our favorites places.
The highlight of the midweek was likely our trip to the largest temple in the Daegu area, Donghwa temple. Alissa and I hiked around this area a few weeks before Fanta came and were fully aware of the beauty waiting to be appreciated on the holy slopes of Palgong Mountain.
After three bus transfers and a short but bit of a steep hike, we entered the temple ground of Donghwa temple. Its peace and tranquility was felt as we entered the enormous main gate. With the trees vibrant as ever and with monks chanting in the background we explored these ancient temple grounds.

he he... you left out the part where it felt like our bus was going to tip over... or the fun of almost falling on people and Alissa showing off her awesome ballance skills by not holding on to the top bar HA HA HA HA. Thank Goodness we went to the temple to recouperate afterwards. ha ha ha
Yeah... forgot about that... hey that's just a typical experience of life in Korea. We are glad that you could bring to our attention the idiosyncratic nature of Korea, all the things we have just gotten used to.
