This weekend marked our last 3 day weekend in Korea. From here on out, it's a straight shot to December with no days off. Sounds like a downer, until you remember December means Australia and then home sweet home.
Saturday and Sunday we visited Jinju for their lantern festival. This one was different from the lantern parade we went to in Seoul - all of the giant lanterns were floating!!! It was really cool to see and the town was very pretty.
We hope you enjoy the photos below.
As always, we miss you. Even more every passing day.
View from our hotel room. We were super close to the festivities- as the lanterns begin just to the right of the bridge.
Some of the lanterns by day.
There were a bunch of tunnels covered in lanterns like this. I went running Sunday morning through these and it was exceptional.

Sometimes translations can get a bit tricky...
This and the next few figures are all lanterns. They all light up at night.
