Gangneung Trip (part 6)

These are pictures I took when the kids were 'meditating' @ the shore. 

ㅋㅋㅋ again..I didn't know exactly what Freya was looking at, thinking about, pondering about...when she was gazing onto the sea....^^ 

But, I just couldn't help myself....pointing my phone to take the pics while she's just standing still.... 

and what a view. I mean...with a seashell protruding out of the sand right in front of the lenses, I was trying to capture the moment...

Yes... it was meant to be one of those picture-perfect moment^^ 

then..along came her sister, Eyra, who seemed to be so actively distracted by the endless possibilities of playing with the water... 

again....when her sister left...Freya stood still (AGAIN)...gazing onto the sea.^^

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

wait...she's like making a wish? ㅋㅋㅋ 

and that's when I approached her and...hey...snap out of it, Freya.

let's just play with the sand.^

Gangneung Trip (part 4)

The reason "we sort of being so demanding (to ourselves) that we got to go to Gangneung" was to SEE the beach! Yes, we got to see the east coast beach this summer. And after a long overdue, we finally made it. 

From so many choices of the stretches of the beaches at the eastern coast of Korean peninsula, we decided to go to Gyeongpo Beach. 

This is the nearest Gyeongpo beach entrance from our pension. I walked up to the bridge first so as to be able to take the whole picture of what it looked like.

*Eyra, Freya, Mama, Om Wawan, and tante Ulfa were still at the jetty. 

Then...we're on the 'bridge' @ Gyeongpo jetty. 

I think this is one of the landmarks of Gyeongpo beach.--so to speak. 

Eyra, come on, girl.

Yes, the kids were enjoying the breeze of the fresh air(?) from sea. 

not to mention..the excitement they had as they touched the sand with their bare feet!

Yes..the real trip began.
