Saturday we went over to a small nearby city named Iksan to explore. We were worried that museums wouldn't be opened because of the holiday, but we ended up still finding plenty of things to entertain us. The first thing we ran into was a whole flood of cars at this one intersection and cops out patrolling the traffic, so we decided to turn down the small street and check it out. Turns out it was very large cemetary and there were many out taking flowers to pay tribute to their ancestors. It was neat to see.
We found some signs for a mountain fortress so we decided to follow those and it took us up to about a mile hike up to this fortress. 
We made it up to the fortress.
Aparently you don't actually need to wear shoes when hiking up a very rocky, small, tree covered path.
After the fortress the trail continued on so we decided to follow it and it took us up to the top of this mountain where there was beautiful view of the valley.
We aren't really sure why this was growing on this tree. Kind of weird.
At the fortress again on the way down the mountain.
Of course Liji had to get the harvesting of the rice.
After the fortress we followed some signs to a Jewlery Museum. There were lots of different stones. It was pretty cool.
Next to the Jewlery Museum was a small dinosaur museum. Both of these were free, so we were way excited about them.
After our fun afternoon in Iksan we had to get back to Gunsan because we had plans to watch a re-broadcast of the BYU vs. USU Game at our friend Jeremy's on the Base. It wasn't too exciting of a game but it was expecially great for Liji to be able to watch some football. It was great for me because Jeremy is a great host and had chips and salsa. My favorite! and something that I have been desperately missing. It had been a beautifully clear day so we were a bit surprised when it started to rain just before we were going to head home from Jeremy's I hadn't brought my rain coat so our friend Steve who also watched the game with us was kind enough to lend me his jacket. I don't know I think I look good enough, that maybe I should join. What do you think?

About the video above, please don't judge me too harshly. I've always known I just didn't get the jumping high talent. Aparently Liji did:)
