Happy Birthday, Mom.
I'm out meeting that older couple this morning—the couple who are walking across the Four Rivers trail from Busan to Incheon, i.e., backwards from how I normally do it. They started out at San Gwa Gang Pension, so the big, 5K hill will be the last obstacle of the day for them, which is a depressing thought. This blog post is appearing at 8 a.m. Saturday morning; I arrived in town the night before, slept overnight in the Saejae Park motel, then trudged up my side of the mountain to meet the couple at the top, at a landmark called Ihwaryeong/이화령. The plan is to meet the couple, let them rest a bit, then trudge down the side I came up so they can finish the day's segment. I told them that I hope we can get a meal while we're in town. I have one restaurant that I always go to, but the town (Yeongpoong-myeon) has several eateries, and I'm open to whatever. It ought to be a nice, relaxing day, and it'll be good to meet the couple, with whom I've been corresponding since last year. I was supposed to meet them before their walk, but I ended up being hospitalized. So this has been a while in the making.
See, Mom? Still making new friends after all these years.
