Fred, Sharon, and I decided to go visit 석모도, a little island near 강화 because we wanted to get out of Seoul, get some fresh air, and see the country. There were four things on the agenda: go bike-riding on the island, see the house from 시월애, see 보문사, a Buddhist temple, and visit 민모루 해수욕장, the only beach on the island. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain the entire time we were there and the 시월애 house washed away after a typhoon, so we were only able to see the temple.
Afterwards we watched Fred get a haircut, ate 삼계탕 and 닭칼국수, ate Red Mango, and went to a 보드게임방, where I played Monopoly for the third time in my life.
