Green Paju

I love the big tree in the school yard. You can just see how old it is by looking at it. This is also a nice view of the community garden across the street. 

The trail where I like to walk near the river. If you follow it far enough it leads to the foothills of nearby mountains. :) 

"Green Paju."  This is one of the community gardens in Paju. This garden is absolutely massive and many people go throughout the day to work on their own plot of land. It's such a great idea.  Every day it looks different. I love looking out the window and seeing the changes.  It will be exciting to see how it looks in the summer and then during harvesting time.  Apparently some of the male teachers at the school have a plot of land and they are planning on having a BBQ with the produce! They said they would provide the vegetables and the women will chip in and provide the meat! That would be fun if it happens.  The teachers in Korea are all about the sense of community--they say that the other teachers are like family. I believe this as we see more of each other at the school than they would their own family at times.

Ally, every time I look out the window I think of you! You and Eliot would absolutely love working in this garden. :)
