Mountain Climbing


Today is Lunar New Year. We thought it would be a good day to take Storm and go for a hike up the mountain near Songbukdong. Usually there are lots of people hiking and we wouldn't be able to let Storm off her leash but today it was quiet and Storm was able to bolt up the mountain freely. We packed a lunch - some tuna sandwiches, ramen (like two-minute noodles), Pringles, Powerade and coffee - and off we all went. The walk up the mountain was shorter than expected and we really didn't need all the food that we'd taken but it was nice to stand at the viewpoint and look out over the city. There was an icy breeze blowing and we were glad to have gloves and beanies to keep us warm.
We decided to have lunch once we'd walked back down the mountain so we found a spot and had our picnic.
Storm had a marvellous time and exhausted herself. I think she was glad to get back into the warm car and she slept most of the way home.
