To mark the beginning of Spring several weeks ago the city of Mokpo held a festival up on Yudalsan. It was a gorgeous day and the city was out and about to enjoy it. There was stalls with street food, people in costume dancing, preforming, and leading a small parade. We enjoyed some haemul pajon which is basically a seafood pancake with spring onions. It is one of my favorite foods here and it seems to be a staple of festival food. A woman who spoke English approached us and made sure we enjoyed the food and helped us learn the name of the meal, how to spell it in Korean so we can order it in the future, and the amazing dipping sauce that came with it.
After enjoying our meal we just wondered about taking pictures and enjoying the scenery. The flowers were in bloom, the people were out, the designated photo zones were designated, and the day was ready for some lazy strolling. We did just that. We reached the sculpture park and claimed a spot for a picnic. We munched on some gimbap while Linds took a nap and I read; enjoying the view over the city. Relaxing and good day indeed.
Designated Photo Zone!
