pullo-dong tombs

This Thanksgiving weekend we hosted a teacher from our sister school in Shenzhen.  It was so much fun to have a friend visiting!  We went on a short tour of the city, and then as she went on with Gary to see more of the city, the kids and I went walking around a less populous area.  Thanks for visiting us, Cindy, we can't wait to see you again!  :)

The pullo-dong tombs are a Korean historic site made up of over 200 mound style tombs that date from the 5-6th century.  We walked around the mounds and climbed the hill that they are buried on.   

This is the view of Daegu from the top of the hill.  In the distance you can see the mountains that surround the city.

Resting at the top.

This picture gives you a good perspective on the mounds.  It is amazing to think that they have been here for 1500 years, and here we are walking around like it's nothing!


Another view.

On Sunday we decided to take a bus downtown and just get out somewhere and walk around.  We discovered that the main passtimes in Daegu are shopping, eating, and studying.  If you are not up for one of those three activities, it's best just to stay home!  xoxoxo
