Finding the Beach in Korea!

I have been missing the water lately, and living on a peninsula I knew the beach couldn't be that far away! Zak and I found a strip of national beaches about an hour or so away, and with Pip in tow we headed out. The drive was not bad on the way there, but it is easy to want to drive fast on Korean highways and they have strategically placed speed detectors along the roads. So without a handy GPS that locates all the radars for us, we continuously speed up and slow down when I yell "CHECK YO' SPEED!" You see, in Korea no one really follows traffic laws, they are just a guide.. so if you drive slow you will get rear ended or get stuck behind the man driving a plow while everyone else is overtaking you... needless to say the purchase of a GPS is in our near future. :)

Upon arriving to where our directions landed us, we quickly deduced that we were in some sort of a fisherman's wharf/ boat dock.. not the beach! But we did walk out on the sea wall and get a beautiful view!

After leaving the first stop we drove a bit further north and the road ended at the beautiful Cheongpodae Beach. It was so cold out by the sea, I think in the low 40s with a nice wind chill! Pip was very confused as to what she was stepping on and decided to lick the sand to get a closer investigation... hmm not so tasty?? Here are some pictures from the beach!

I will definitely be visiting this beach again once the weather warms up!!! On our way home we thought all was swell, until we hit the dreaded traffic. Our 1 1/2 hour drive turned into 4 hours of stop and go! It was terrible, but we did get a few laughs when we saw vendors set up all along the route selling beer and food! 

Next week is Thanksgiving!!! YUMMMMO! Hope everyone enjoys their week!
