Lunar new year, that is. It is now the year of the sheep, which is convenient as August can tell you what sound it makes.
I was supposed to go on the next leg of our hike around Seoul, but one of the guys called in sick. So Jeff and I decided to hike Suraksan mountain instead. It was a beautiful hike and we left before 9am so saw almost no one up there. We did almost all of the climb to the top until we got to the last scraggly bit – just a few tenth a of a kilometer. We had no gloves and much of the last bit involved using these metal ropes over the rocks. I was concerned about getting back down so stopped at a place where it was icy and you had to pull yourself up a rock face about 5 feet. Jeff went a bit further, but stopped short after a potion where it was just a rope to his left and a sharp drop to his right.
While I was out doing that Carly and August went to the playground by the stream and then the playground in the park. They also scouted out coffee shops Carly could work in later.
I got home and August was asleep he took a long nap as he had a restless night. He woke up for a couple hours and then slept until right before I left for my hike at 8:30 – so at least I got to see him in the morning. But it wasn’t enough, and he also headed to bed pretty early in the evening.
After he awoke from his nap Carly went to work. He and I went outside to get the last of the sun and ended up playing on some slides in a play area in an apartment complex.
We swung by the place Carly was working – the cafe at the movie theater – and August got to play with the big leopards again.
