After dragging the entire family on a tour earlier in Scott's visit; this time we opted to go by ourselves. Scott and I were both exhausted, but we got on that tour bus anyway. In the end we had a wonderful day. We laughed ourselves silly and absorbed as much of the history and culture as we could. We even ate at a traditional Korean-style restaurant where we had no idea what we were ordering until our tour guide made goat noises at us. Given the choices, Scott and I stuck with the goat and ended up rather enjoying it.
This first picture is of an ancient ice cave. This is apparently where they would store the ice for royalty. It was pretty cool. From the outside it just looked like a huge hill of dirt, but there was a hidden entrance that led to this cool little cave.
One of the stops on the tour was an ice forest. In the winter time they spray water up into the trees to make this beautiful backdrop for all the ice sculptures. It was really a very majestic sight. Scott and I even got to walk through this cave made entirely of ice.
This is one of the ancient Confucian Academies in the Daegu vicinity. The colors and the details were absolutely breathtaking. Scott and I got really excited when we found out that we were going to be able to go inside and look around the grounds.
This is one of the many shrines in the Daegu area. One of the ones we saw on our tour was over 1000 years old.
