Road trip to Malipo Beach

Barret was off for Columbus day so we decided to take a little road trip to the West Coast of Korea. We threw Lucy in the car, drove 3 hours and ended up at Malipo beach. It was a great and needed break - a good time had by all. I've included some pictures of the road trip and Lucy having a ball. This was her first time at the beach and she had a blast. We ate dinner that night on the seawall. The waitress brought over some raw shrimp after we failed terribly at reading the all-Korean menu. Through sign language, she helped us order steamed shrimp with the traditional Korean side dishes. They were actually more exotic than we had had before - cold conch from the shell, a new seaweed we hadn't tried, small speckled hard-boiled eggs. Plus your traditional kim-chee - spicy, vinegary cabbage. The shrimp was steamed inside a pan coated with coarse salt over a little gas burner on our table. It was great eating with the sound of the waves next to us! We were pretty proud of being so adventurous (for us) with the eating.
