Thursday was Buddha's birthday and Ken only worked a little in the morning. We packed a lunch and headed to the south part of Geoje Island. We didn't really have a plan - just to get in the car and see where it took us. One of our stops was Hakdong Pebble Beach. As the name implies, it is not a typical sandy beach. It is completely covered with smooth stones. It is said that if you walk on it barefooted, the stones are supposed to increase your circulation and energy. Since my toe is still tender I chose not to do that this time, but maybe some other time. We have been there before, but decided to get out of the car for a breather and walk along the sea wall. It was a gorgeous day and really quite warm.
Alot of Koreans were out and I was struck by all the women with their sun umbrellas. The women here seem to be very diligent in their efforts to keep their faces out of the sun. They also wear alot of visors that have larger than average bills on them. And they use umbrellas for the sun - I caught a picture of some brightly colored umbrellas for sale on the street of Okpo last week.
P.S....
I am sure that the women on the beach wouldn't be pleased to know that Ken and I went to another beach on Saturday to deliberately get some sun.
