Eunpa Park Pics

The Koreans are very traditional, almost superstitious people. At Eunpa Park, there was this amazing lake witha bridge spanning it. At various places on the bridges were plaques that suggested you do something in the name of someone you love. For instance, there was a pillar in the center of the bridge and you were urged to walk around it thinking of your parents. Or there was another one where you were urged to carry your loved one on your back over a section of the path. We thought this was pretty cool and did a few of them.
The pillar:

You can see the arched sections in the background of this picture. This is where you were supposed to carry your loved one:

Everyone wanted to see Lottie and got a kick out of her being in the sling. I finally covered up her face so that she could sleep in peace!

Matt was pretty sure this fountain was meant to be a minature of the one in Las Vegas. If you look closely, you can see that Matt caught a rainbow in this picture!

I think Eunpa park was one of the most perfect places in all of South Korea. It may be because Matt and I did most of our courting while at a park (he proposed to me on a playground, did you know that?) or maybe it was just that our entire family was able to spend time together without any sort of constraints. But it would definately be on my list of places to go back and see again.

I miss bridges. There aren't really any around here except overpasses and those are lame. Although, I do think of you anytime I drive under an overpass when it's raining...
