During this past Chuseok holiday weekend, which is the Korean Thanksgiving holiday, Sarah and I spent the weekend vacationing in Busan. Busan is a beach province/seaport about 90 minutes away from our home in Daegu.

Saturday morning we boarded a train and traveled out there to stay with our good friend Huy. Huy treated us to an incredible weekend of beach wandering, fish markets, good food, and cave bars...yes, cave bars!!! :)
Saturday was mostly exploring Busan and the nearby beaches, which are equally beautiful in the day time and in the evening. Saturday night we went to Dragon's Cave, which is a bar/restaurant literally built into a cave. It was incredible. Even the tables and chairs were made out of natural stone. Super fun!

Eating our delicious, fresh fish!
Monday morning we headed back to Daegu, and later in the afternoon we went and climbed Apsan Mountain, a huge mountain near Camp Walker in Daegu. What an adventure! We took a cable car up the mountain (mom, you would have been SO proud!!) and then hiked around the peak and then down the mountain. My knees are killing me today!!!

All in all it has been an incredible Chuseok break from school...and we still have 2 days off to enjoy and relax. Today we are most likely going to go to a natural hot springs in Daegu and vedge. Tomorrow we may explore Seomun Market, and as always we'll be sure to keep everyone posted.
On a sad note, we learned this week that our cat Seth (who was adopted by a friend in Chicago) has leukemia, and it isn't looking very good. Hard to deal with on the other side of the world, but we are SO grateful and eternally in debt to our friend Jenn for taking care of him while we are away. We can never repay that!
