About a year later, I decided to climb Mt. Namsan again! This is the mountain full of ancient buddhist relics responsible for giving Gyeongju the nickname "museum without walls." I went on a beautiful day, and as you can see the snow has mostly melted. Last time I went up one route, so this time I decided to try another. Oh boy was it tough! We scaled the mountain and descended on the other side - quite a tiring day! I wish I would say the fresh air at the top was worth it, but as you can see in the pics we were inhaling quite a gargantuan amount of smog. Either way it was a totally gorgeous hike and I had lovely company, AND saw a pretty bird! Definitely a great success.

| Skies were clear that day. This is alllll pollution! |

| This lady was bowing over and over. As you can see, she was balanced on a thin sliver of rock. It was quite impressive and a little scary to watch! |
