So that was the garden. Then we went to Busosansong, sansong=Fort/Fortress. It was on a mountain...Or at least it felt like it was. First we have the front gate, then we have Jody playing with a water well (a real one with really cold water), then is a nice view inside the Fort, then is a nice view of the city from a strategic "lookout point".
The last pictures depict a place where 3000 court ladies from the Baekje (I believe) Kingdom leaped to their death when the Silla (Shila?) Dynasty attacked and the Baekje Kingdom was coming to an end. There was a "shrine" built here, my favorite part is the painting on the ceiling so that is all you get to see...Then there is a Buddhist Temple, I could see the inside but you are not allowed to take pictures of the inside of Temples, let me say it was beautiful. Then there is a picture of what looks like a ton of trees but if you look in toward the middle that is the position of the temple and in the top right (it is really hard to see) is the place that the ladies jumped from. The last is a boat that we took to get back to the starting point.
Sorry it took so long to get this post up, it was just a really long day...
