On top of the world!

The hills are alive, but it is too dark to see!

Nothing but six feet of concrete separates me from a really big fall, the edge is near.

The dragon in the sky put out the sun before we reached the bottom. (Always carry a flashlight in the mountains.)

Fall is coming to the mountain one tree at a time.

The view takes your breath away, that and it is almost 1000 meters high.

A rough and rocky road, worn by many feet over the years.

From the ground Mt. Geumo beacons those who want to touch the sky.

A wall that was built to keep China out welcomes visitors to climb, it's all uphill from here.
At the top there are several Buddist temples, however God is not contained in a building made by hands.

The words, "you lift me up to stand on mountains", kept me moving to the top. I was not disappointed in the view, although the trip to the bottom in the dark was a walk of faith.

Martin and Bryan, my host family boys. Baseball is his dream!

My classroom with second grade.

The classroom is a challenge, but well appointed. Teaching is not restricted to the classroom, but goes on in the playground, at lunch and after school under the learning tree.

September in Gumi

The outdoor classroom. Hurram, a man made mountain.

The climb has just begun from the complex climbing wall to Hurrum to the classrooms in Sandong Elementary School. The campus is truly a garden to grow children in. The gated community I reside in is everything from the western world with the culture of Korea. There is no place like OZ.
