regular session of school is out for the summer, giving us a super long weekend before our summer school starts, which is gonna be a piece of cake. only twelve-ish students per class and off by one o'clock, easy. we are happily dog sitting for Nathan and Irina while they are out of town for ten days, enjoying our time with the amazing little Belka in our little home. She is such a good dog and brings a playful energy into our lives.
Josh was busy brewing beer with some friends so Belka and I went to the top of Namsan, a mountain in the middle of the city. It was a hot afternoon, humid and threatening to form a lightening storm. we slowly made our way to the lookout point, working up a sweat and a serious thirst. The view was beautiful, but slightly obscured by the coming clouds.
after a few snapshots we made our way along some of the nice trails that cover the mountain and eventually made our way down to go meet Josh and Kevin for a game of dice over a beer at the mini mart. it was too hot to stick around, however, so we played quickly and headed home.
today was our free day off! a friday with no plans. we found an awesome score on craigslist, a backpack for less than five dollars! So we took the hour or so walk to get there, through a new neighborhood in our district. We needed to buy a backpack for our upcoming Vietnam trip, and this one was perfect! I don't know why this lady was selling it for so cheap, I would have paid thirty for it... but five is way better. It was a successful walk that left us and the dog pretty tired. Now we rest for a few hours, Ryan is over, a serious game of chess is in progress between the guys. We will make dinner soon and head out into the hot night to find some adventures!
as promised i'll show you the updates to my project of mastering night photography. still have lots to learn, but it's a fun learning experience!
love, nic
