(Lee is one of our new teachers from Manchester)
The beginning of the walk along the Fortress wall
A large Golden Buddha in the distance, which we knew we had to find
The alarm bell
You could pay 1000 won ($1) to "gong" the bell. Here is Mike getting his money's worth
Then Lee gave it a go
This was at the top, although I'm not sure what it's purpose was/is
Beautiful fall colours on the way down
The King who built the Fortress
We finally found our Buddha! And he was marvelous! Underneath the Korean writing at the bottom of the picture was a little meditation room. It was beautiful.
Our work here is done!
