the fun continues on day 2

After a full night’s sleep, we woke up and headed out for more fun. We started the day with a little walk around the western mudflats.

We then headed to a little restaurant to try out haemul kalguksu, that is a seafood noodle soup. This is one korean food that I think works quite well for breakfast.

A spicy tofu soup was also present.

After finishing up with breakfast we paid a little visit to a sweet potato farm.

These go gu ma or sweet potato rather were amazing. We dug up a few and I cooked them when I got home. They were amazing. Organic deliciousness.

After finishing up at the farm we went for a meal of duck. First we ate it BBQ style, grilling up small pieces in the middle of the table. For second course we had it in a stew. Both were fantastic but I think the stew was the preferred method of my teammates and I.

To continue the farm theme of the day, our next adventure took us out to Yesan to an apple orchard.

We picked the most tasty apples I’ve ever had. They were organic, fresh, juicy, sour, and sweet. Just perfect.

 

We then had apple rice cake prepared with dried Yesan apples. I’m quite the fan of most rice cake but I think this one might take the cake as my favorite.

After a beautiful countryside walk we journeyed to dinner. Dinner consisted of one of my favorite Korean soups, Gamjatang. Check out my teammate Mark’s post about it here.

And again, day 2 ended with full and happy foreigners.
