A Fun Weekend

Yesterday, Rie and I headed up to Gyeongju. This was my third visit and Rie's fourth. Gyeongju is famous for its history, museums, temples, and resort areas.

We got up there after lunch and checked out the parking and reception areas for the marathon. The stadium was busy with some sort of Lions Club festival/competition, but there were a few signs up for the marathon.

From there, we headed to our Pension up in the hills. Rie's friend just opened the EuroVille Pension. It is located at the end of a dirt road and well within earshot of many roosters. We stayed in the England Villa and had a great room. There was a picnic bench and BBQ out front and a kitchen in the front room. The bathroom was big enough to have a big plastic lounge chair in it, for those who need to rest in the middle of a shower or bath.

After a buffet dinner at a nearby hotel, we turned in for the night and slept soundly for a few hours. At 5 am we woke up and went to my marathon. After that, we came home and Rie napped for a while.

Tomorrow, it is back to work for me and Rie can relax some more.
