A Walk Across the Water

Two weekends ago the city of Busan held a "bridge walk" which invited everyone to take a morning stroll across Korea's second longest bridge. It was just over 7 kilometers of marching on a blustery, foggy morning, but the views were lovely and it was the most productive I've ever felt at noon on a Sunday.
There were a lot of families out for a day trip, and when we got to the center of the bridge we saw that many of them had stopped to have lunch and listen to the opera entertainment. They had a small orchestra set up and big speakers projecting across the bridge. I can't think of a better way to celebrate making the halfway point of a 7k walk!





Afterward we settled on the beach and had some brunch and beer. It was a wonderful way to spend a lazy Sunday. Sandra and I took a few more photos and you can see them here.
